The shoulder is the most moveable joint in your body. It helps you to lift your arm, to rotate it, and to reach up over your head. It is able to turn in many directions. This greater range of motion, however, can cause instability.
The shoulder is the most moveable joint in your body. It helps you to lift your arm, to rotate it, and to reach up over your head. It is able to turn in many directions. This greater range of motion, however, can cause instability. Shoulder instability occurs when the head of the upper arm bone is forced out of the shoulder socket. This can happen as a result of a sudden injury or from overuse. Once a shoulder has dislocated, it is vulnerable to repeat episodes. When the shoulder is loose and slips out of place repeatedly, it is called chronic shoulder instability.
What is Bankart lesion? The most common type of shoulder dislocation is anterior. This most commonly occurs when the arm is abducted away from the body, and forced forward or downward in an injury. When the humeral head dislocates anteriorly, the ball forcefully pushes THE BOUNDRY FORMING CARTILAGE CALLED AS GLENOID LABRUM out of its place. A glenoid labrum tear in the anterior joint is called a Bankart lesion.
When the labrum is torn and dosent unite to its original place, the shoulder joint is less stable, and allows the humeral head to move around more than normal.
