Arthroscopic SLAP repair with 1 or 2 bio-knotless anchors were performed in all cases. The average follow up period was 15 months. Results: The ASES score improved to average 92.7 at last follow up period and 23 cases had full range of motion of the shoulder. 2 case had mild limited range of motion of the shoulder without any problem in normal activity. Conclusion: Arthroscopic repair with bio-knotless anchor in type II SLAP lesion is one of the good methods because of the good clinical results.
