Shoulder Dislocation & Labrum Tears
The shoulder joint achieves its massive range of movement through a large humeral head (ball) fitting into a small, flat glenoid cup (socket). To compensate for this instability, the socket is surrounded by a thick fibrous ring of tissue called the labrum. Traumatic falls or overhead sports injuries can tear the labrum off the socket (Bankart lesion), leading to recurrent shoulder dislocations.
Shoulder Dislocation Treatments
Arthroscopic Bankart Repair
Keyhole StabilizationFor recurrent instability, the torn labrum (Bankart lesion) is reattached to the socket rim using specialized suture anchors via minimally invasive arthroscopy, restoring the joint barrier.
Remplissage & Bony Repair
Managing Hill-Sachs DefectsIf the dislocating ball suffers a bony dent (Hill-Sachs lesion), we perform a Remplissage procedure to fill the defect with posterior capsule tissue, preventing the ball from catching and slipping.
Latarjet Procedure
Open Bony StabilizationIn cases of severe glenoid socket bone loss (>20%), an open Latarjet procedure is performed. Transferring the coracoid bone block and attached tendons to the socket restores structural stability.
Complex Instability
Posterior & Multi-DirectionalWe treat rare posterior dislocations (common in seizure disorders/trauma) and Multi-Directional Instability (generalized loose joint capsule) through tailored capsular plication.
