Arthroscopic Bankart Repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat recurrent shoulder dislocations caused by a Bankart lesion. A Bankart lesion occurs when the labrum (cartilage rim of the shoulder socket) is torn due to shoulder dislocation, leading to ongoing instability.
Under the expert care of Dr. Dnyaneshwar, an experienced Orthopaedic Surgeon in Bangalore, arthroscopic Bankart repair helps restore shoulder stability, strength, and confidence using advanced keyhole surgical techniques with excellent long-term outcomes.
This procedure may be recommended if you experience:
Recurrent shoulder dislocations
Feeling of shoulder instability or slipping out of place
Pain during shoulder movement
Weakness or reduced shoulder strength
Fear of overhead or sports-related activities
Limited range of motion after repeated dislocations
Young adults, athletes, and physically active individuals are more prone to Bankart lesions.
Common causes and risk factors include:
Traumatic shoulder dislocation due to falls or accidents
Sports injuries (cricket, football, badminton, volleyball, swimming)
Repeated overhead activities
Poor shoulder muscle control or imbalance
Previous untreated shoulder dislocations
Contact sports or high-impact injuries
Without proper treatment, repeated dislocations can worsen joint damage.
Consult Dr. Dnyaneshwar if:
You have more than one shoulder dislocation
Shoulder feels unstable even during routine activities
Pain and weakness persist despite rest and physiotherapy
You want to safely return to sports or physical work
Early consultation helps prevent cartilage damage and shoulder arthritis.
Accurate diagnosis includes:
Detailed clinical examination of shoulder stability
Assessment of range of motion and muscle strength
MRI scan to identify Bankart lesion and soft tissue damage
X-rays to evaluate bone loss or fractures
Precise diagnosis ensures the most effective treatment plan.
May be suitable for first-time dislocations:
Physiotherapy for shoulder strengthening
Activity modification
Shoulder braces or supports
Pain and inflammation management
However, non-surgical treatment may not prevent recurrence in active individuals.
Recommended for recurrent instability:
Performed through small keyhole incisions
Torn labrum is repaired and secured using anchors
Minimally invasive with less pain and faster recovery
Preserves shoulder movement while restoring stability
High success rates in preventing future dislocations
Prevents repeated shoulder dislocations
Restores shoulder stability and confidence
Protects cartilage from further damage
Enables safe return to sports and work
Reduces risk of long-term shoulder arthritis
Improves overall shoulder strength and function
Recovery is gradual and well-structured:
Arm sling for initial healing (3–4 weeks)
Early passive movements under supervision
Progressive physiotherapy to regain strength
Return to daily activities in 6–8 weeks
Return to sports in 4–6 months, depending on recovery
Strict adherence to rehabilitation ensures optimal surgical success.
If you are experiencing recurrent shoulder dislocations or instability, consult Dr. Dnyaneshwar, a leading Orthopaedic Surgeon in Bangalore, for expert evaluation and advanced arthroscopic Bankart repair.
