Shoulder Dislocation Specialist in Jaipur
Expert arthroscopic shoulder surgery by Dr. Jitesh Jain — Fellowship-trained shoulder surgeon with 5000+ arthroscopic surgeries and international training from Hong Kong & Singapore.
What is Shoulder Dislocation?
Shoulder dislocation is the most common dislocation in orthopedic practice, comprising nearly 50% of all dislocations. It most commonly affects young, active males below 30 years of age.
The shoulder joint is like a golf ball sitting on a tee — only one-fourth of the humeral head articulates with the socket at any time. This makes the joint inherently unstable, relying on soft tissues (labrum, ligaments, muscles) for stability.

Chances of re-dislocation after first episode are very high in patients under 25 years

Why Does Your Shoulder Keep Dislocating?
Two main reasons for recurrent shoulder dislocation:
Torn Labrum (Bankart Lesion)
The labrum — soft tissue ring around the shoulder socket — tears during dislocation and fails to heal. This is the most common cause of recurrent instability. An MRI confirms the tear.
Treatment: Arthroscopic Bankart RepairBone Loss (Hill-Sachs / Glenoid)
Bone damage from the head of the humerus and/or glenoid (socket) can occur during dislocation. Significant bone loss requires a different surgical approach. A CT scan assesses bone damage.
Treatment: Latarjet Procedure (Open Surgery)Treatment for Shoulder Dislocation
First Dislocation
Reduced by manipulation under sedation. Shoulder immobilizer for 7-10 days, followed by gradual exercises to restore range of motion and strength.
Non-SurgicalArthroscopic Bankart Repair
Minimally invasive keyhole surgery. Torn labrum is reattached to the socket using special suture anchors. Only 1cm incisions — no joint is opened. Discharge next day.
Most Common — Minimally InvasiveLatarjet Procedure
Open surgery for cases with significant bone loss. Bone is transferred to the area of bone loss to restore stability. Required in complex or severe cases.
For Bone Loss CasesArthroscopic Shoulder Dislocation Surgery
Dr. Jitesh performs arthroscopic Bankart repair — a minimally invasive procedure to fix the torn labrum and restore shoulder stability.
- Done through a video camera — only 1cm incisions
- Shoulder joint is not opened
- Torn labrum reattached to glenoid using suture anchors
- Next-day discharge in most cases
- Quick recovery with structured physiotherapy

FAQs: Shoulder Dislocation Treatment in Jaipur
What causes recurrent shoulder dislocation?
Two main causes: a torn labrum (Bankart lesion) that fails to heal after the first dislocation, and bone loss from the humeral head or glenoid socket. An MRI and CT scan help determine the exact cause.
What is arthroscopic Bankart repair?
A minimally invasive keyhole surgery where the torn labrum is reattached to the glenoid socket using suture anchors. Only 1cm incisions are made, the joint is not opened, and most patients are discharged the next day.
Should I get surgery after my first shoulder dislocation?
In young patients (under 25 years), the chances of recurrence after the first dislocation are so high that Dr. Jitesh may recommend surgery even after the first episode to prevent further dislocations and joint damage.
How long is recovery after shoulder dislocation surgery?
Most patients are discharged the next day. Sling use for 3 weeks, then gradual physiotherapy. Range of motion returns in 4-8 weeks, strengthening by 3-4 months, and return to sports by 6 months.
Is the surgery painful?
The surgery is done under regional or general anesthesia, so you feel no pain during the procedure. Post-operative pain is managed with medications and is typically mild due to the minimally invasive approach.
Is insurance accepted for shoulder surgery?
Yes, shoulder dislocation surgery is available cashless for all major insurance providers, CGHS, ECHS, Railway, Ayushman Bharat, and Chiranjeevi Yojana beneficiaries at Rajasthan Hospital.
