Bankart Injury – Specialized Care for Shoulder Instability

Understanding Bankart Injury

A Bankart Injury is a specific type of shoulder injury involving a tear in the labrum—the ring of cartilage surrounding the shoulder socket. This injury commonly occurs after a shoulder dislocation and often leads to recurring instability. At Vedant Hospital, Gota, Dr. Amish Shah, a highly experienced Orthopedic Doctor in Gota, Ahmedabad, provides expert diagnosis and treatment of Bankart lesions using advanced arthroscopic techniques for long-term relief and restored shoulder stability.

What is a Bankart Lesion?

The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint where the head of the upper arm bone fits into a shallow socket. A Bankart lesion occurs when the labrum (soft tissue that stabilizes the socket) is torn due to dislocation, especially in younger, active individuals. This tear weakens the joint, increasing the risk of future dislocations.

Causes of Bankart Injury

• Traumatic Shoulder Dislocation – Most commonly caused by falls, sports injuries, or accidents.
• Repetitive Shoulder Stress – Overuse in sports like swimming, tennis, or overhead lifting.
• Previous Dislocations – Inadequate healing or instability following a past injury.

Common Symptoms

• Recurrent shoulder dislocations
• Feeling of looseness or slipping in the shoulder
• Pain during movement or lifting
• Clicking or popping sensation in the joint
• Loss of shoulder strength or motion

Treatment Options for Bankart Injury

Dr. Amish Shah offers a range of treatments based on the severity of the tear and level of shoulder instability:

• Non-Surgical Treatment – Includes physical therapy, rest, and anti-inflammatory medications for mild instability.
• Arthroscopic Bankart Repair – A minimally invasive surgery to reattach the torn labrum and stabilize the shoulder joint.
