360 Degree Global Shoulder Stabilization

An arthroscopic procedure performed to stabilize the shoulder after an injury has caused tearing of the anterior, superior, and posterior labrum. This is called a 360 degree repair or Global Shoulder Stabilization of a Bankart, SLAP, and Reverse Bankart tears. Through 2 or 3 small incisions around the shoulder sutures are introduced into displaced labral tissue. The tissue is brought to its proper position then secured to the bone of the shoulder socket by driving absorbable anchors into small, drilled holes. This recreates the normal anatomy of the shoulder socket thus stabilizing the joint.
