Shoulder Labrum Repair

Shoulder labrum repair is a surgical procedure used to fix tears in the labrum, which is the cartilage ring that surrounds the shoulder socket. This structure helps stabilize the shoulder joint and allows for smooth movement. When the labrum is damaged, it can cause pain, instability, and limit motion. During the surgery, a surgeon typically reattaches the torn edges of the labrum to the bone using stitches or anchors. The goal is to restore the shoulder's function, reduce pain, and improve stability, helping individuals return to normal activities. Recovery may involve physical therapy to regain strength and mobility.
