About Glenoid Labrum Tear

A glenoid labrum tear repair is a specialized orthopedic surgical procedure performed to address injuries to the fibrocartilaginous ring (the labrum) that surrounds and deepens the shoulder socket (glenoid). This structure is crucial for shoulder stability and smooth joint movement. The procedure, typically performed arthroscopically using small incisions and a camera, involves reattaching the torn labrum to the bone using sutures and anchors. It is commonly indicated for conditions like SLAP tears or Bankart lesions, often resulting from trauma, repetitive overhead motions, or shoulder dislocations. The goal is to restore shoulder stability, alleviate pain, and prevent recurrent dislocations, allowing patients to return to their daily activities and sports.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive arthroscopic technique with small incisions.High success rate in restoring shoulder stability and function.Significantly reduces pain and prevents recurrent shoulder dislocations.Allows for a quicker visual diagnosis and targeted repair during the same procedure.Promotes a faster recovery and return to daily activities compared to open surgery.

Who is this surgery for?

Persistent shoulder pain and instability following a dislocation.
Diagnosis of a SLAP (Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior) tear.
Bankart lesion (a tear of the lower part of the labrum) from a dislocation.
Failed conservative treatment (rest, physical therapy, medication) for labral tears.
Recurrent shoulder subluxations or feelings of the shoulder "slipping."

How to prepare
