The authors analyse the results of the performance of arthroscopy stitch on the injured capsule with the use of anchor on 46 patients with anterior recurring instability of the shoulder joint within a period of time from 6 months to 4 years. When assessing the results of the given treatment, functional scales, clinical examination methods and radiological methods have been used. The article presents the results of arthroscopy diagnosis of the interior joint damage accompanying the recurring instability of the shoulder joint. The effectiveness of the conducted operations was 93,5%. The occurrence of postoperative relapses of joint instability (reoccurring dislocations) in 3 patients (6,5%) was caused by the presence of significant damage of bone formations in the shoulder joint – the shoulder-blade joint socket and the shoulder-bone head as well as the reduction of the strength and elasticity of the soft-tissue structures.
