Introduction: Shoulder joint is the most common joint to get dislocated with the anteroinferior type being the commonest. Detachment of the glenoid labrum termed as Bankart lesion is the cause of recurrent shoulder dislocation. Arthroscopic repair has gained popularity in recent days. Methods: 33 patients were studied with a follow-up period of 1year after undergoing Arthroscopic Bankart repair by a single experienced orthopaedic (Arthroscopic) surgeon. All the patients included in the study strictly followed rehabilitation protocol. Modified University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) scale was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the surgery. Results: In our study the mean post operative UCLA score was 30.9 with maximum score being 34 and minimum score was 20. 51.5% patients had excellent result whereas 36.4% had good, 9.1% with fair and 3% with poor outcome. Thus, patients with satisfactory score returning to sports activity and job was 87.9% Conclusion: Arthroscopic Bankart repair gives good to excellent functional and clinical outcome in anterior shoulder instability.
