Understanding Shoulder Dislocation
Shoulder dislocation occurs when the ball of the upper arm bone (humerus) pops out of the shoulder socket (glenoid). The shoulder is the body's most mobile joint, which also makes it the most unstable and prone to dislocation.
Types of Shoulder Dislocation
Why Does Shoulder Dislocation Become Recurrent?
After the first dislocation, the labrum (cartilage rim around the socket), ligaments, and sometimes bone structures get damaged. If these don't heal properly, the shoulder becomes unstable and prone to repeated dislocations - sometimes from minimal force or even routine movements.
Risk Factors for Recurrent Dislocation
Surgical Treatment Options for Shoulder Dislocation
Dr. Naveen Sharma specializes in both modern arthroscopic and open surgical techniques, recommending the most appropriate approach based on thorough evaluation of your specific condition.
Arthroscopic Bankart Repair
Minimally Invasive Keyhole Surgery
What It Is:
Arthroscopic Bankart repair involves reattaching the torn labrum (cartilage rim) to the shoulder socket using specialized suture anchors. Performed through 3-4 small incisions (5-10mm each) using a camera and miniature instruments.
Best For:
- First-time or early recurrent dislocations (2-3 episodes)
- Young patients with minimal bone loss (<20% glenoid bone loss)
- Labral tears (Bankart lesion) without significant bone damage
- Patients seeking faster recovery and minimal scarring
Success Rate: 85-95%
for first-time dislocations with proper patient selection and surgical technique.
Latarjet Surgery
Open Bone Graft Stabilization
What It Is:
Latarjet surgery is an open procedure where a piece of bone (coracoid process) along with attached tendons is transferred to the front of the shoulder socket. This creates a "bone block" that prevents the humeral head from dislocating and also provides additional stability through the attached muscles (sling effect).
Best For:
- Recurrent dislocations (>3-4 episodes)
- Significant glenoid bone loss (>20-25%)
- Large Hill-Sachs lesions (humeral head bone loss)
- Failed previous Bankart repair
- Contact athletes or military personnel requiring maximum stability
Success Rate: 95-98%
even in cases with significant bone loss and multiple previous dislocations.
How Dr. Sharma Decides Which Surgery You Need
The choice between Bankart repair and Latarjet surgery depends on multiple factors assessed during your consultation:
Dr. Sharma will perform a detailed clinical examination, review your imaging studies, and discuss your activity goals to recommend the most appropriate surgical approach for optimal long-term outcomes.
