What is the labral repair?

Labral repair is an operation to repair tears or other serious damage to the labrum, membrane of fibrous cartilage that obscures the outer layer or the joint surface of what is called spherical and socket joints. This thin and fine tissue is often not treated well if it is damaged and may require labral repair surgery and after operational rehabilitation. Labrum injuries are most often associated with shoulders common in athletes, but may occur in any ball and socket such as knees and hips.

There are three types of labral tears that usually require surgical correction. The first is a complete tears of the Labrum, where it separates from the socket and must be reconnected, most often due to the shoulder dislocation. The second type is the tear in the Labrum tissue itself, which causes the membrane to wear out when the ball and the joint with the sleeves are shaking during normal movement, which is a common occurrence as people naturally age. The third type of Labral Tucho can happen in the area where the tendon biceps attachesIt lifts to the shoulder socket.

The most accurate means of diagnosis of Labrum injury is through a specialized magnetic resonance imaging device known as arthrogram. A dye is injected into the shoulder joint, which is then scanned MRI. If the labral tear is present, the dye escapes from the affected area. Without this process, it is usually difficult to see the labral tear and may miss regular MRI screening.

Labral repair surgery can be performed as a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure, where the surgeon can explore the shoulder joint with a small camera and perform surgery using small shoulder cuts. If the damage is more extensive, traditional surgical surgery can be used to perform labral repair. Once a tear or trauma is identified to Labrum, surgeon Budedebride or prepare labral tissue by cleaning and trimming, then connect the tissuewith the bone of small anchors that hold the stitches, which are then firmly attracted to reconnect the labrum to the bone joint.

Within a few days after the Labral repair surgery, patients may start the rehabilitation process to strengthen the arms area with the range of movement and flexibility exercises. This process must continue carefully and under the supervision of a physiotherapist to avoid any further injury and allow sufficient time to fully recover after the operation. Rehabilitation is the last step in the Labral repair procedure and is decisive for ensuring complete recovery. It may take three to six months to complete.
