BANKART REPAIR
BONE CARE CLINIC | DR. VINAY KUMARASWAMY | BANGALORE INDIA
Bankart repair is a surgical procedure used to treat shoulder instability caused by damage to the labrum, a ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint. The procedure is named after the surgeon who first described it, Arthur Sydney Blundell Bankart.
The labrum is a ring of fibrocartilage that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint, providing stability and support to the joint. When the labrum is torn or damaged, the shoulder can become unstable, leading to dislocations or subluxations (partial dislocations) of the joint. Bankart repair is used to restore stability to the shoulder joint by reattaching the torn labrum to the bone of the shoulder socket.
The procedure is typically performed arthroscopically, using small incisions and a tiny camera called an arthroscope to visualize the inside of the shoulder joint. First, any loose fragments or damaged tissue are removed from the joint. Next, the torn labrum is reattached to the bone using sutures or anchors. The surgeon may also tighten the ligaments and capsule surrounding the joint to further improve stability.
After the procedure, the patient will need to wear a sling for a period of time to immobilize the shoulder and allow the repaired labrum to heal. Physical therapy will also be necessary to help restore range of motion and strength in the shoulder.
Bankart repair is a highly successful procedure, with a success rate of over 90%. However, it is important to note that the success of the procedure depends on a variety of factors, including the severity of the injury and the patient's overall health.
