The method that is best suited for your shoulder dislocation often depends on the severity of the type of shoulder dislocation you have. After a thorough diagnosis, your orthopedist will be able to recommend a suitable treatment option for you. There are primarily 3 methods of shoulder arthroscopy:
- Arthroscopic bankart surgery: A bankart shoulder repair surgery is a commonly performed surgical procedure that your orthopedic doctor may recommend in case of recurrent shoulder joint dislocations. In a bankart surgery, the surgeon reattaches the worn out ligaments to their normal place by making very small incisions around the shoulder region. The surgeon will insert a narrow tube attached with a small camera, called an arthroscope, into an incision and using a live feed, reattach the labrum to the glenoid bone. Once the procedure is complete, the surgeon will suture the labrum in place. The average cost of a bankart repair surgery in Kolkata can range from Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 95,000. However, depending on various factors, the exact cost of surgery is likely to vary.
- Capsular shift surgery: A capsular shift surgery is another procedure that your orthopedist may recommend when the joint capsule, which is the lining of the joint, becomes too large. In a capsular shift surgery, the surgeon uses arthroscopy procedure to tighten the capsule and its ligaments which are responsible to stabilize the shoulders.
- Arthroscopic labral repair: An arthroscopic labral repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is often recommended when there is a tear in the labrum which causes pain and makes the shoulder unstable. In an arthroscopic labral repair, the surgeon visualizes the torn labrum using an arthroscope that will be inserted through a small incision made in the shoulder region. Once a clear view is established, the surgeon will clear up any scar tissue and reattach the labrum to the bone and use special implants called suture anchors to permanently hold the labrum in place.
