Arthroscopic Bankart Repair in Bangalore

Why Your Shoulder Keeps Dislocating

The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint. The socket is lined with a cartilage ring called the Labrum. When you dislocate your shoulder, this labrum tears away this is a Bankart Lesion.

Why you need surgery:

  • Structural Damage: Cartilage does not reattach to the bone on its own.
  • The Cycle: Each dislocation causes more bone loss, making future repairs harder.
  • Physiotherapy Limitations: While rehab strengthens muscles, it cannot fix a mechanical tear in the labrum. If instability persists, evaluation by a shoulder specialist in Bangalore is essential.

The Procedure

Precision 4K Arthroscopic Repair

We perform this via keyhole surgery, ensuring minimal pain and faster healing.

  • Small Portals: 3 tiny incisions (<1cm) are made around the shoulder.
  • High-Definition View: A 4K arthroscope allows us to see the tear with extreme clarity.
  • Bio-composite Anchors: We use specialized suture anchors to pin the labrum back to the socket.
  • Stability Check: The joint is tested intra-operatively to ensure zero play or laxity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Arthroscopic Bankart Repair in Bangalore

1. Can I drive after Bankart repair?

You can usually drive an automatic car after 6 weeks once the sling is removed.

2. How much does Bankart Repair surgery cost in Bangalore?

The cost of Arthroscopic Bankart Repair in Bangalore typically ranges between ₹95,000 to ₹1,85,000. The final price depends on the number of suture anchors required (usually 2–4), the choice of hospital facility, and the type of implants used (Bio-composite vs. PEEK). Most major Cashless TPA insurance plans cover this procedure.

3. Can I have a Bankart repair if I have bone loss (Hill-Sachs)?

Mild bone loss can be managed during an arthroscopic repair. However, if a 3D CT scan shows more than 20% bone loss in the socket (Glenoid), a Latarjet Procedure (bone grafting) may be a more reliable option than a Bankart repair. We review your imaging during your consultation to choose the technique with the lowest recurrence risk.

4. How long is the recovery before I can return to work?

IT/Desk Jobs: You can usually return to work (WFH or office) within 5–7 days, provided your arm is supported in a sling.

Driving: You can typically drive an automatic car after 6 weeks.

Heavy Lifting/Physical Labor: This generally requires 12–16 weeks of healing and strength training.

5. Why is my shoulder still popping despite doing physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy strengthens the muscles around the joint, but it cannot reattach a torn labrum (the Bankart Lesion) to the bone. If the labrum is detached, the joint remains mechanically unstable. No amount of exercise can regrow that anchor point; only Arthroscopic anchoring can restore the mechanical stability of the socket.

6. Will I have permanent metal screws left in my shoulder?

No. We use modern Suture Anchors made of PEEK (high-strength polymer) or Bio-composite materials. Bio-composite anchors are designed to gradually be replaced by your own bone over time. They do not trigger airport metal detectors and do not need to be removed in the future.

7. Is the surgery painful?

Since this is a keyhole surgery, post-operative pain is significantly lower than open surgery. We typically use a Regional Nerve Block during the procedure, which keeps the shoulder numb and pain-free for 12–18 hours after you wake up. After that, discomfort is managed with standard oral painkillers for 3–5 days.

8. How soon can I return to sports like Cricket or Swimming?

Swimming: Usually allowed at 3–4 months (non-competitive).

Cricket/Football/Gym: Full return to contact sports or heavy weightlifting is cleared at 5–6 months, once the repair has fully biologicaly integrated with the bone and your rotator cuff strength is back to 100%.
