The arthroscopic labrum tear repair is a minimally invasive shoulder procedure to repair a tear in the labrum.
The labrum is a thick band of tissue that surrounds the shoulder socket and provides stability to the shoulder joint. It also connects the glenoid (socket part of the scapula) with the head of the humerus. When the labrum becomes torn, the shoulder loses the cushion between the bones, therefore, the shoulder loses stability, strength, mobility, and there is a feeling of locking or grinding inside the shoulder.
The labrum tear repair is an arthroscopic treatment recommended after anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy failed to relieve the pain.
During the labrum repair surgery, the orthopedic surgeon inserts a tiny camera into the shoulder joint. Through the images sent via the camera, the surgeon has the ability to fully inspect the labrum and the damaged area of the labrum. With the help of small surgical tools and equipment designed for arthroscopic surgery, the shoulder surgeon can smoothly trim the torn part of the labrum and then repair the damaged area, or just reattach the labrum to the humerus.
