Who Needs a Bankart Repair?
Ideal for patients with severe shoulder instability, typically caused by:
Recurrent Dislocations
Shoulders that repeatedly pop out of the socket.
Bankart Lesion
A specific tear in the lower rim of the shoulder labrum following an injury.
Sports Injuries
Trauma caused by contact sports or heavy lifting.
Chronic Instability
A constant feeling of the shoulder being "loose" or about to give way.
Benefits of Bankart Repair
Your Path to a Stable Shoulder
Immobilization
The shoulder is strictly immobilized in a sling to allow the labrum to heal securely to the bone.
Range of Motion
The sling is removed. Physiotherapy begins to slowly restore the shoulder's flexibility without stretching the repair.
Return to Play
Advanced strengthening. Athletes gradually transition back to throwing, lifting, and competitive sports.
Life After Bankart Repair
Fearless Movement
Move your arm freely without the anxiety of a dislocation.
Return to Sports
Safely play cricket, tennis, swimming, or basketball.
Stronger Joint
Regain full strength for pushing, pulling, and heavy lifting.
Joint Preservation
Protect the long-term health of your shoulder cartilage.
