Arthroscopic Bankart Repair in Hyderabad

Q: What is the difference between Bankart repair and Latarjet?

Bankart repair fixes the torn labrum back to the socket. Latarjet transfers bone to the front of the socket for cases with significant bone loss. Your surgeon will recommend the best option based on your imaging.

Q: Can I lift weights after Bankart repair?

Yes, but weight training is gradually introduced starting around 3 months after surgery. Full heavy lifting typically allowed at 4-6 months.

Q: Will my shoulder feel normal after surgery?

Most patients have excellent function after Bankart repair. Some may notice mild stiffness compared to the other shoulder, particularly with extreme external rotation, but this rarely affects activities.
