Abstract
The number of mixed martial arts contact athletes has increased dramatically over the past 10 years. High-risk sports can lead to recurrent anterior shoulder instability, affecting athletes' performance. Arthroscopic Bankart repair without remplissage seems not to be the "gold standard" anymore. Despite being a higher-demanding technique, the Latarjet procedure outperforms soft tissue repair, whether in terms of stability or level of return to the same sport, in a patient population exposed to collision, contact, striking, or grappling. The indication of a such bony procedure should be strongly considered a primary treatment.
