The shoulder is the most mobile part of the human body and has the widest range of motion. It may be damaged and lose stability due to reverse movements or impacts to the shoulder. Shoulder Stabilization Surgery is performed to correct the instability of the shoulder joint.

This surgical procedure to restore joint stabilization in the shoulder is performed under general anesthesia and lasts between 1 and 3 hours.

The shoulder area can be damaged by accidents and sports injuries. Shoulder joint damage manifests itself with severe pain, limited joint movement, swelling and bruising, and externally visible deformities.

Shoulder stabilization surgery is performed for shoulder insecurity, rotator cuff tear, labral tear, biceps tendon tear, joint instability and recurrent dislocations.

It is a surgical procedure performed to treat shoulder joint disorders, joint instability and recurrent dislocations. This surgery can be performed with 4 different methods: bankart repair, capsular shift, latarjet procedure and arthroscopic stabilization. The procedure to be applied is decided by the doctor based on the tests performed before the surgery. It is applied under general anesthesia and takes between 1 and 3 hours.

Patients stay in the hospital for 1 night after the surgery. It is important to keep the shoulder immobile for 6 to 8 weeks after surgery. For this reason, individuals should use a shoulder strap during this period. After the 6th week, individuals begin to move their shoulders in a controlled and gradual manner. Individuals are advised to begin physical therapy to regain shoulder movements and strengthen shoulder muscles again. Physical therapy is a factor that positively affects the recovery period.

Healing time varies from patient to patient and depending on the condition of the tear. Total recovery takes between 6 months and 12 months.

• Correct and proper use of prescribed medicines is highly important
• Shoulder straps that restrict shoulder movements and keep them fixed should be used
• It is important to start physical therapy to prevent loss of muscle strength and regain the function of the shoulder
• Strenuous activities and work should be avoided until full recovery occurs
• The incisions should be kept clean and dry to prevent infection and healthy wound healing
