Bankart Lesion – Expert Care for Shoulder Instability

What is a Bankart Lesion?

A Bankart lesion is a tear of the labrum—the cartilage rim that stabilizes the shoulder socket—usually caused by a shoulder dislocation. This injury often leads to repeated shoulder instability and dislocations, especially in active individuals. At Vedant Hospital, Gota, Dr. Amish Shah, an experienced Orthopedic Specialist in Ahmedabad, offers advanced diagnosis and treatment using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques to restore shoulder stability and function.

Causes of Bankart Lesion

• Traumatic shoulder dislocation from falls, sports, or accidents.
• Repeated stress on the shoulder joint through activities like swimming or overhead lifting.
• Previous shoulder dislocations that did not heal properly, causing instability.

Symptoms to Watch For

• Frequent shoulder dislocations or feelings of the shoulder slipping out of place.
• Pain or discomfort during arm movements.
• Clicking, popping, or catching sensations in the shoulder joint.
• Reduced strength and limited range of motion.

Treatment Approach for Bankart Lesion

Treatment depends on the severity of the tear and instability:

• Conservative care: Physical therapy, rest, and medications to reduce pain and strengthen muscles.
• Arthroscopic Bankart repair: A minimally invasive surgery to reattach and repair the torn labrum, restoring shoulder stability.
• Rehabilitation: Customized physiotherapy programs post-surgery to regain strength and prevent future dislocations.
