Arthroscopic Bankart Repair: Revolutionizing Shoulder Dislocation Treatment

Shoulder dislocations are a common yet debilitating injury, particularly among athletes and physically active individuals. The recurrent nature of shoulder dislocations often requires surgical intervention to restore stability and function. Dr. Vivek Bansal, a renowned orthopedic surgeon, specializes in Arthroscopic Bankart Repair, offering state-of-the-art treatment for shoulder dislocations in Chandigarh, Mohali, and Ropar.

Shoulder Dislocation and Bankart Lesions

A shoulder dislocation occurs when the head of the humerus is forced out of the glenoid cavity. This injury often results in a Bankart lesion, where the labrum (a ring of cartilage) and the glenohumeral ligaments are torn from the anterior-inferior part of the glenoid. This damage compromises the stability of the shoulder, leading to repeated dislocations and chronic instability.

Arthroscopic Bankart Repair: A Minimally Invasive Solution

Arthroscopic Bankart Repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to reattach the torn labrum and ligaments to the glenoid rim, thereby restoring shoulder stability. Unlike traditional open surgery, arthroscopy involves small incisions through which specialized instruments and a camera are inserted. This approach offers numerous benefits, including reduced pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery times.
