🦾 BANKART & SLAP TEAR REPAIR Specialized Shoulder Stabilization by Dr. Ashwini Kumar Khicher – Trusted Orthopedic Surgeon in Jaipur 🩺 What are Bankart and SLAP Tears? Bankart tears and SLAP (Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior) tears are types of injuries to the labrum — the cartilage ring that surrounds and stabilizes the shoulder socket. Bankart Tear: Often caused by shoulder dislocation, it involves a tear in the lower part of the labrum, leading to instability or recurrent dislocations. SLAP Tear: Involves the top part of the labrum where the biceps tendon attaches, commonly caused by repetitive overhead activities, trauma, or sudden shoulder pull. Both conditions cause pain, weakness, and a feeling of the shoulder “giving way,” impacting daily activities and sports. ⚠️ When is Bankart/SLAP Tear Repair Needed? Dr. Khicher may recommend surgical repair if you experience: Recurrent shoulder dislocations or subluxations Persistent shoulder pain and instability despite conservative treatments Difficulty with overhead or throwing activities Weakness or catching sensations in the shoulder 🛠️ How is Bankart & SLAP Tear Repair Performed?
