Shoulder dislocation is one of the most common injuries to the joints. Falls and car accidents are a few common causes of shoulder dislocations. The shoulder is the body’s most flexible joint, which makes it more likely to dislocate and cause severe pain. Shoulder dislocations occur more commonly in males than females and teenagers.
Most dislocations involve the anterior (front part of the shoulder). Shoulder dislocations rarely involve the posterior (back part of the shoulder). Recurrent dislocations may occur while raising an arm over the head or combing hair.
Repeated partial dislocations of the shoulder joint cause Bankart Lesion, where the labrum (tissue attached to the shoulder) and capsule (a fluid-filled sac that surrounds the shoulder joint and lubricates it) tear from the glenoid (part of the scapula, or shoulder blade). The condition gets its name from British surgeon Arthur Sydney Blundell Bankart, who first described it in the British Medical Journal in 1923.
Symptoms of Bankart Lesion
● Deformed shoulder;
● Difficulty in moving the joint;
● Shakiness in the affected area;

Treatment of Bankart Lesions
Treating bankart lesions may involve non-surgical methods such as rest, restriction of movement, and physical therapy. However, if your labrum is torn, it must be reattached to the shoulder socket.
Bankart lesion procedure is a surgical method for fixing repeated dislocations of the shoulder joint to restore it by joining the torn ligaments to the joint of the shoulders. The goal of the procedure is to reconnect and constrict the torn labrum and ligaments of the shoulder. An unhealed Bankart Lesion may cause shoulder instability. Multiple dislocations lower the chances of healing without surgery.
