Bankart lesion
Bankart Lesion: Shoulder Injury and Treatment[edit | edit source]
Overview[edit | edit source]
A Bankart lesion is a specific injury to the shoulder joint, involving the anterior (inferior) glenoid labrum. It is commonly associated with anterior shoulder dislocations.
Pathophysiology[edit | edit source]
The Bankart lesion occurs when:
- The anterior part of the glenoid labrum is injured.
- A pocket forms at the front of the glenoid, allowing the humeral head to dislocate into it.
This condition often leads to recurrent shoulder dislocations.
Association with Hill-Sachs Lesion[edit | edit source]
- It is frequently accompanied by a Hill-Sachs lesion, which is damage to the posterior humeral head.
- This combination of injuries is indicative of severe shoulder instability.
Treatment and Surgery[edit | edit source]
Indications for surgery include:
- Recurrent shoulder dislocations
- Persistent pain or instability after shoulder dislocation
Surgical options may involve:
- Arthroscopic repair
- Reconstruction of the labrum
- Addressing any associated fractures
Bony Bankart Lesion[edit | edit source]
- A bony Bankart lesion includes a fracture of the anterior-inferior glenoid cavity of the scapula bone.
- Treatment of a bony Bankart lesion often requires more complex surgical procedures.
Historical Context[edit | edit source]
- The Bankart lesion is named after English orthopedic surgeon Arthur Sydney Blundell Bankart (1879–1951), who first described it.
Epidemiology and Risk Factors[edit | edit source]
- Common in younger individuals and athletes involved in contact sports.
- Risk factors include previous shoulder dislocations and ligamentous laxity.
