Shoulder Dislocation and Labral Repair: Comprehensive Care for Joint Health

Understanding Shoulder Dislocation
Shoulder dislocation is a condition where the upper arm bone is forced out of its natural position within the cup-shaped socket of the shoulder blade. This is not merely a result of the shoulder’s unique structure but a testament to its remarkable mobility – a feature that also makes it vulnerable to dislocation.

The human shoulder, with its incredible range of motion, plays a vital role in daily activities. However, its complexity means that an unexpected slip, fall, or collision can cause a dislocation, requiring immediate medical care. If you experience intense pain, limited movement, or a visible deformity in the shoulder area, seek professional help without delay.

Arthroscopic Labral Repair: A Precise Approach to Healing
The labrum is a ring of cartilage surrounding the shoulder’s socket, providing stability and support. Damage to the labrum can lead to pain, weakness, and further complications.

At our clinic, we specialize in arthroscopic labral repair, a minimally invasive surgical procedure aimed at restoring the labrum’s natural position. By utilizing specialized anchors and sutures, we secure the labrum in place, allowing the healing process to begin.

Postoperative Care: A Tailored Recovery Path
Recovery from arthroscopic labral repair is a carefully monitored journey. Within the first two weeks, we encourage gentle motion to prevent stiffness, always under professional guidance. Approximately two months post-surgery, patients may progress to stretching and strengthening exercises as part of a tailored physical therapy plan.

Expect a full recovery within three to six months, with our team supporting you every step of the way. We’re not just committed to the technical aspects of your healing, but to your overall well-being and a swift return to your daily routine.

Shoulder dislocation and labral repair are complex but treatable conditions. Trust in our experience and patient-focused approach as we guide you through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
