Arthroscopic Treatment of Anterior Shoulder Instability Using the Bankart Technique: A Retrospective Study of 18 Cases and Review of Literature

Anterior shoulder instability is prevalent among young, active individuals and often requires surgical intervention to restore joint stability and function. This study presents a retrospective analysis of 18 patients treated with arthroscopic Bankart repair, evaluating clinical and functional outcomes, recurrence rates, and impact on return to sports activities. Outcomes are discussed in the context of current literature highlighting advancements in arthroscopic techniques and their role in optimizing shoulder stability and mobility. Results demonstrate that arthroscopic Bankart repair yields excellent mobility preservation with moderate recurrence rates, emphasizing the importance of patient selection and technical precision.
