PROBLEM OF STABILITY
Traumatic dislocation / Atraumatic instability / Labral tears like SLAP: These are the most common sports injuries of the shoulder and produce instability. They start in teen age and never heal by themselves until surgically repaired. Nowadays, all such ligamentous injuries of the shoulder are treated with arthroscopic technique(Key-hole surgery) and this gives an edge over open technique. In many cases, labrum is detached from the socket all around 360° which cannot be seen by open surgery and even highest quality of MRI and expertise in imaging falls short of diagnosing them pre-operatively. If we don’t treat such injuries, they become recurrent in more than 99% of cases and shoulder keeps on dislocating, compromising the quality of life severely.
