Labral Repair

Articles and resources for Labral Repair in Orthopedic Surgery.

Labral repair is a surgical procedure aimed at fixing tears in the labrum, a cartilage structure that surrounds the socket of the hip or shoulder joint. Common reasons for considering this surgery include persistent pain, instability, or reduced range of motion due to a torn labrum, often resulting from sports injuries, trauma, or degenerative conditions. Patients may experience symptoms like clicking, locking, or a feeling of weakness in the joint, prompting further evaluation and potential surgical intervention.

The procedure is typically performed using arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique that involves small incisions and the use of a camera to guide the surgeon. During the surgery, the torn edges of the labrum are stitched together or repaired using anchors that hold the tissue in place. Patients can expect a recovery period that may involve physical therapy to restore strength and mobility, with the duration varying based on the individual and the specifics of the injury.

While labral repair can lead to significant improvements in joint function and pain relief, there are risks associated with any surgical procedure. Potential complications may include infection, blood clots, or stiffness in the joint. Additionally, not all patients achieve the desired outcome, and some may still experience pain or instability post-surgery. Understanding these factors can help individuals make informed decisions about their treatment options.
