The Stabilization Mechanics
Once a Bankart lesion occurs, the shoulder loses its primary suction-cup stabilizer. For active patients, this frequently results in recurrent dislocations during sleep or simple overhead activities.
Arthroscopic Bankart repair uses miniature surgical portals to access the front of the joint. Dr. Vikrant prepares the glenoid bone edge and uses high-strength suture anchors to re-tension and secure the torn labral cartilage back to the bone, re-establishing a tight, stable socket.

Pre-Operative Preparation & Clinical Evaluation
A successful orthopaedic outcome starts with meticulous planning. Prior to scheduling any procedure, patients undergo a thorough medical evaluation, including cardiac clearances, complete blood profiles, and tailored joint imaging.
3D Anatomical Mapping
CT scans or high-res MRIs are loaded into the computer software to pre-plan bone cuts and implant size before entering the theatre.
Pre-Hab Exercises
Mild quadriceps and core strengthening exercises are recommended to build muscle tone, which speeds up postoperative recovery.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation & Recovery Pathways
Rehabilitation is a critical phase of recovery. Following surgery, Dr. Vikrant Sinha Roy's team coordinates with clinical physiotherapists to execute structured post-op exercises, facilitating joint mobilization, restoring gait patterns, and strengthening surrounding muscle groups.
Phase 1: Mobilization (Week 1-2)
Focus on wound healing, swelling management, and walking with support.
Phase 2: Strengthening (Week 3-6)
Transitioning to walking independently, climbing stairs, and building muscle flexibility.
Phase 3: Functional Restoration (Week 6+)
Returning to normal daily work, traveling, and light recreational sports.
Patient Success Stories
"I had severe shoulder pain due to a rotator cuff tear and couldn't lift my arm to comb my hair. Dr. Vikrant performed keyhole rotator cuff repair. The recovery was gradual but with structured physiotherapy, I have regained complete range of motion."
— Rajeev Dutta, 52, Kolkata
"After my shoulder dislocated multiple times during sports, I consulted Dr. Vikrant. He performed an arthroscopic Bankart repair. The surgery restored shoulder stability completely. I have returned to badminton without any fear of dislocation."
— Soumyajit Das, 28, Salt Lake
Shoulder Care FAQs
You will wear a sling for 4 to 6 weeks to allow the tendon to heal to the bone. Passive physiotherapy starts in the first week, followed by active strengthening at 6 weeks. Full return to overhead sports takes about 4 to 6 months.
A reverse shoulder replacement is recommended for patients who have severe shoulder arthritis combined with a massive, unrepairable rotator cuff tear, or when traditional shoulder replacement has failed.
