Shoulder Surgery: Bankart Lesion Repair. The shoulder is a complex multi-directional ball-and-socket joint which allows movement in many directions. Shoulder instability and dislocation occur when the shoulder capsule is stretched or torn, and/or when the labrum is detached from the glenoid.

Shoulder Surgery: Bankart Lesion Repair. Minimally invasive surgical procedure to repair a tear of the glenoid labrum in the shoulder. The shoulder is a complex multi-directional ball-and-socket joint which allows movement in many directions. Shoulder instability and dislocation occur when the shoulder capsule is stretched or torn, and/or when the labrum is detached from the glenoid.

During the minimally invasive Bankart repair surgery, your surgeon will make small incisions in the front and back of the shoulder. The surgery is considered minimally invasive thanks to the small incisions resulting in less discomfort and shorter recovery time.

What is a Bankart Repair? Bankart repair surgery is a minimally invasive surgery to repair instability and restore function of dislocated shoulders. To better understand what a Bankart tear or lesion is, an overview of the shoulder is needed. The humeral head (ball of the shoulder joint) is centered in the glenoid (the socket of the joint), which stabilizes the shoulder.

1 Arm is restricted from these movements for 4 weeks: 2  extension (backwards) past the plane of the body. 3  External rotation (arm rotation outwards) greater than 0° (straight in front); extensive repairs may require more restrictions.  For posterior repairs, avoid any internal rotation (turning in) past the body.

Passive and active assisted flexion out to the scapular plane as tolerated (cane exercises, wall walking,table slide). Progress to active exercises from flexion into the scapular plane against gravity as tolerated. *No resistance until able to perform 30 reps with perfect mechanics.

labrum and capsule around its rim (similar to a meniscus). The labrum is wedge-shaped and attaches almost completely around the edge of the glenoid. This creates a deeper cup for the glenoid socket. This is important because the glenoid socket is so flat and shallow that the ball of the humerus does not fit tightly. The labrum creates a deeper cup for ball of the humerus to fit into. This makes a contribution to the stability of the joint. The labrum may become detached in patients with dislocations of the shoulder (causing a Bankart lesion ).

1 Good posture is critical throughout the rehabilitation process to improve healing and decrease the risk of developing poor mechanics. 2  Aerobic conditioning throughout the rehabilitation process.  M.D./nurse follow­ups Day 2, Day 14, 1 month, 4 months, 6 months and 1 year.

The operation involves reattachment and tightening of the torn labrum and ligaments of the shoulder (see pictures below). This usually done using sutures and small bone anchors. The glenohumeral joint provides 60% of shoulder motion. It is a modified 'ball and socket joint'.

The more the labrum is stretched or torn, the more unstable the shoulder becomes. The shoulder may pop out of joint so frequently that it tears the inferior glenohumeral ligament, an injury called a Bankart lesion, named after English orthopedist Arthur Bankart.
