Shoulder Instability & Dislocation

Advanced surgical stabilization procedures to prevent recurrent shoulder dislocations and restore absolute joint confidence.

Understanding Shoulder Instability

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, but this mobility makes it susceptible to instability and dislocation. Once a shoulder dislocates, the surrounding ligaments and the labrum (a cartilage ring) are often torn (Bankart lesion), making the joint prone to repeated dislocations.

Surgical stabilization offers several vital advantages:

Dramatic reduction in the risk of future dislocations
Restoration of the protective bumper (labrum) of the shoulder
Ability to confidently return to contact and overhead sports
Prevention of early-onset osteoarthritis from repeated trauma

Arthroscopic Labral Repair

Our specialists frequently perform arthroscopic Bankart repairs to address shoulder instability. During this procedure, the torn labrum and stretched ligaments are reattached to the rim of the shoulder socket using tiny anchors and sutures, effectively tightening the joint capsule and restoring its natural stability.

For patients with significant bone loss from multiple dislocations, we also offer advanced open procedures (such as the Latarjet procedure) to comprehensively rebuild the structural integrity of the shoulder socket.

Regaining Joint Confidence

Following surgical stabilization, a dedicated rehabilitation program is critical to safely restore the strength of your shoulder muscles, particularly the rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers.

By strictly following our customized protocols, athletes and active individuals can safely return to overhead and contact sports with complete joint confidence.
