Shoulder Dislocation and Management
A young person can suffer from frequent dislocation of the shoulder after injury where the head comes out of the socket with minimal trauma and sometimes even doing normal day-to-day activities. This can be very disabling for the patient as it causes acute pain, discomfort and the patient has to visit a hospital for relocation. In sportsperson, it affects the performance as they always have a fear that the shoulder may dislocate.
The most common presentation of shoulder instability is recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder. Once dislocated, the anterior labrum of the glenoid is often torn and results in the formation of a pocket on the anteroinferior glenoid aspect of the shoulder where the humeral head can easily slip into. Bankart lesion is an injury to the anteroinferior glenoid labrum as a result of shoulder dislocation.
What is the treatment for recurrent shoulder instability?
Arthroscopic Bankart's Repair:- It is keyhole surgery. In which the torn labrum is reattached to the glenoid with the help of suture anchors. It is now considered the standard of care in patients with bankart's lesion. It is a minimally Invasive, precise surgery with minimal soft tissue trauma. There is usually no pain or stiffness afterward. Sometimes patients who have large bony defects due to long-standing instability may require open surgery.
