Bankart repair
Bankart Repair
Bankart Repair (pronounced: BAN-kart reh-PAIR) is a surgical procedure used to correct a specific type of shoulder injury known as a Bankart lesion. This injury is often associated with recurrent shoulder dislocation.
Etymology
The term "Bankart Repair" is named after British orthopedic surgeon, Arthur Sidney Blundell Bankart, who first described the procedure in the early 20th century.
Procedure
The Bankart Repair procedure involves reattaching the torn glenoid labrum, a ring of cartilage that surrounds the shoulder socket, back to the shoulder socket. This is typically done using arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure, where small incisions are made to insert a camera and surgical tools. The torn labrum is then reattached using sutures or anchors.
