Arthroscopic Bankart Repair

Definition

Arthroscopic Bankart repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat recurrent shoulder dislocations or instability caused by a tear or detachment of the labrum, a ring of cartilage that surrounds the shoulder socket. The procedure involves reattaching the torn labrum to the shoulder socket using small anchors and sutures, which helps restore stability and function to the joint.
