Abstract: Background Recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation occurs in approximately 50–96% of individuals having first dislocation under the age of 20 years and in 40–74% of patients between the ages of 20–40 years. The anterior shoulder dislocation contains tear of the inferior capsule-ligamentous complex and labrum from the anterior inferior glenoid in around 97% of cases and if not healed in a proper position may lead to recurrent episodes of dislocation. Methods This‘prospective cohort study’aimed to evaluate the results of the arthroscopic Bankart repair of the capsule-labral lesions in patients having recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder. Results The UCLA score was calculated for all patients preoperatively, and 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Preoperatively, the UCLA score ranged from 15 to 25 (mean 20.1 ± 2.3), 3 months postoperatively it ranged from 27 to 32 (mean 29.4 ± 1.2) and 6 months postoperatively from 27 to 33 (mean 30.4 ± 1.3). Conclusion The present research demonstrated that arthroscopic Bankart repair with the the application of suture anchors is a dependable managing pathway, with positive clinical conclusions, outstanding shoulder movement postoperatively, besides reduced rates of recurrence in selected patients.
