The purpose of the study is to investigate biomechanical and proprioceptive conditions in patients with symptomatic traumatic anterior shoulder instability undergoing arthroscopic Bankart repair. To determine these, non-invasive and non-irradiating examination methods that have been proven valid and reliable will be used in a combination that has not been reported before. The objective is to determine whether the anatomical reconstruction affects biomechanical and proprioceptive measures in the traumatic unstable shoulder. The study will also investigate patient-reported and clinical outcomes. The hypotheses are that the intervention improves biomechanical and proprioceptive conditions to the near-normal state, as measured after both 6 and 12 months. Further, hypotheses are that the intervention leads to improved patient-reported and clinical outcomes.
