What is Arthroscopic Bankart’s Repair?

Arthroscopic Bankart’s Repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to fix a torn labrum in the shoulder—specifically the Bankart lesion, a common cause of shoulder instability after dislocation. This tear occurs when the shoulder joint pops out of place and damages the cartilage rim (labrum) that keeps it stable. Using tiny incisions and a small camera (arthroscope), the torn labrum is reattached to the bone to restore shoulder strength and stability.

Who Needs This Procedure?

You may be a candidate for Bankart’s Repair if you have:

Repeated shoulder dislocations or subluxations
A history of traumatic shoulder injury
Persistent shoulder instability or weakness
Clicking or catching in the shoulder joint
Labral tear confirmed on MRI or arthroscopy
Difficulty with overhead activities or sports
Incomplete recovery after conservative treatment

The surgery takes 1–1.5 hours. Patients usually return home the same day. Physiotherapy begins after a brief rest period to restore full shoulder function. Most patients return to sports and normal activity within 3–4 months.
