Bankart Repair for Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation

The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint that provides the greatest range of motion in the human body. However, this flexibility also makes it prone to dislocations.

A Bankart tear occurs when the labrum (cartilage ring) of the shoulder’s glenoid socket is torn due to repeated shoulder dislocations or trauma. This weakens the joint, making future dislocations more likely.
