Predictors of functional outcomes and recurrent shoulder instability after arthroscopic anterior stabilization.

Purpose: To investigate what factors might predict the results of arthroscopic stabilization for anterior shoulder instability.

Methods: One hundred and forty-three patients averaging 25 (15-58) years with traumatic anterior shoulder instability who underwent arthroscopic stabilization were reviewed at a median follow-up of 81 (24-172) months. Sixty-two (56.
