Advanced Arthroscopic Labral Repair by Dr. Hemendra Agrawal

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.
When is this procedure recommended?
Shoulder instability or recurrent dislocations
Bankart lesion (anterior labral tear)
SLAP tear (superior labrum anterior to posterior)
Shoulder pain with clicking or catching
Sports-related shoulder injuries
Traumatic shoulder injuries
Loss of shoulder strength and control
Failure of conservative treatment
A detailed walkthrough of the surgical process
Clinical examination, MRI or MR arthrogram to assess tear type and severity.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or regional block. The shoulder is prepared for arthroscopy.
Small incisions are made to insert the arthroscope and instruments into the shoulder joint.
The surgeon assesses the labral tear and associated structures.
The torn labrum is reattached to the glenoid using suture anchors.
Incisions are closed, and a shoulder sling is applied for support.
