A Bankart's lesion is a tear or injury to the labrum in the shoulder joint, often resulting from traumatic dislocations or repetitive overhead movements. This injury compromises shoulder stability, leading to recurrent dislocations, pain, and limitations in daily activities.

Arthroscopic Bankart's Repair Explained:

Arthroscopic Bankart's repair is a surgical procedure performed through small incisions using an arthroscope, a specialized camera, and surgical instruments. This advanced technique allows orthopedic surgeons to visualize and repair the torn labrum with precision, restoring stability to the shoulder joint.

Benefits

• Minimally Invasive: Small incisions minimize tissue damage, resulting in less pain, swelling, and scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
• Targeted Repair: Arthroscopic techniques enable surgeons to access and repair the torn labrum with greater accuracy, restoring shoulder stability and function.
• Faster Recovery: With reduced trauma to surrounding structures, patients can often resume normal activities and sports sooner, supported by personalized rehabilitation programs.
• Reduced Risk of Recurrence: Arthroscopic Bankart's repair aims to address the underlying instability, reducing the risk of recurrent shoulder dislocations and associated complications.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Following arthroscopic Bankart's repair, rehabilitation plays a crucial role in optimizing outcomes and restoring shoulder function. Physical therapy, exercises, and gradual return to activity are essential components of the recovery process, guided by healthcare professionals to ensure a safe and successful return to full function.
