Advanced Arthroscopic Labral Tear Surgery by Dr. Hemendra Agrawal

Dr. Hemendra Agrawal
MBBS, MS (Orthopedics) · Consultant, Narayana Hospital
Overview
Labrum repair is a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure performed to repair a torn labrum in the shoulder joint. The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket (glenoid) of the shoulder, helping to stabilize the joint and keep the ball of the humerus in place.
Labral tears can occur due to trauma, shoulder dislocation, repetitive overhead activities, or sports injuries. These tears can lead to shoulder instability, pain, clicking sensations, and repeated dislocations.
Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs advanced arthroscopic labrum repair using high-definition visualization and specialized instruments. The torn labrum is reattached to the bone using suture anchors, restoring stability and function.
This minimally invasive technique ensures smaller incisions, reduced pain, faster healing, and better cosmetic outcomes compared to traditional open surgery.
