Instability & Bankart Repair
Stabilizing the joint after dislocation.
Shoulder dislocation tears the labrum (Bankart lesion). First-time dislocations often respond to neuromuscular training. Recurrent instability damages bone and requires repair.
Symptoms
- Loose shoulder
- Recurrent dislocation
- Apprehension
- Deep ache
Conservative treatment
- Dynamic stabilization
- Scapular correction
- Proprioception
- Taping
When is surgery needed?
Arthroscopic Bankart repair for shoulder instability and recurrent dislocations, or a Latarjet procedure for bone loss.
