Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Our hypothesis is that there is no difference in outcome between panacryl and ethibond suture material when used for this procedure in which case the panacryl may be theoretically better as it dissolves away completely.[This is assessed at 2 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 , 12 and 24 months.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Identification of risk factors for recurrent instability post operatively.[Assesed at 12 and 24 months post operation.]
