Previous studies have shown that arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability (ASI) may lead to high rates of instability recurrence and revision surgery at 10-year follow-up, but data on 20-year postoperative outcomes are scarce.
 
In conclusion, about 1 in 3 patients reported instability recurrence or redislocations, and 1 in 5 underwent further surgery. In patients who did not undergo further surgery, good to excellent shoulder function as well as low pain and instability levels were observed at a minimum 20 years after ABR. The presence of inferior glenohumeral laxity was associated with a higher risk for subjective reinstability, and the use of fewer anchors was associated with redislocations.
