Arthroscopic bankart repair for shoulder dislocation

Arthroscopic bankart is a surgical procedure done to repair shoulder dislocation caused by a Bankart Lesion. Due to shoulder dislocation, the ring of cartilage around the joint called the labrum, can become torn or detached causing a constant instability in the shoulder. The surgery involves a minimal invasive procedure wherein the surgeon makes two small incisions around the affected area. Through one incision, the surgeon inserts a scope which enables him to view the damage carefully and from another, he inserts surgical instruments to reform the damage. Once the damage is fixed, the incisions are patched with sutures.

Arthroscopic bankart repair serves several advantages such as minimal postoperative pain and faster recovery time. As the surgery is performed on outpatient sources, the patient is discharged from the hospital on the same day.
