The goal of this clinical trial is to learn Labroplasty using the long head of biceps tendon works to patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability with subcritical glenoid bone loss (\<20%) and thinned or deficient anterior labrum .The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does Labroplasty using the long head of biceps improve the functional and radiological outcomes in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability with subcritical glenoid bone loss?

Participants will:

undergo arthroscopic labroplasty using the long head of biceps tendon Visit the clinic regularly for checkup and followup undergo MRI at 6 months to check radiological outcome
