Labral Tear Repair Surgery in Jaipur
Advanced Arthroscopic Labral Repair by Dr. Hemendra Agrawal
What is Labral Tear Repair?
Labral tear repair is a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure performed to fix a torn labrum in the shoulder joint. The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the shoulder socket (glenoid), helping to stabilize the joint and maintain smooth movement.
Labral tears can occur due to trauma, shoulder dislocation, repetitive overhead activities, or sports injuries. These tears can cause shoulder pain, instability, clicking sensations, and reduced strength.
Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs advanced arthroscopic labral 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 approach ensures smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and better cosmetic results compared to open surgery.
