This procedure does demonstrate surgical treatment for anterior shoulder instability. If you decide to seek out a surgeon, a good question is, "How many of these surgeries do you do annually?" If the answer is less than 25, you may want to see another as this is a technically difficult procedure and should be done by an very experienced surgeon. Blessings,

Dr Turnage you perfomed surgery on my wife's shoulder today. Nice job and thanks for posting this video. I may have to see you about mine one day lol

Hello Kirby, interesting video, thanks for the upload. What are the chances of someone making a return to playing rugby after they've had this operation?

[KirbyLTurnage]

@SK4616 Depends on many factors: bony damage? More than one dislocation? Rotator cuff intact? Typically, rugby and full contact football are not "wise" and often lead to recurrent instability, even after surgery. Many shoulder surgeons will perform open capsular shift for contact athletes.

I've had this done on both surgeries and it took a long time for it to heal in my right shoulder but i was out of my sling in 3 weeks in my left one

[wheelchairdiaperboy]

i will have this surgery done but in both shoulders

[aussierazify]

Im 15 and getting this surgery done in december. I might possibly also have a torn labrum. How long does this surgery generally take? being 15 this worries me how much i'll be able to do later in life. will i be able to return to hockey?

If I have a recurring anterior shoulder subluxation, is this the surgery that I would get? My arm will sublux, or temporarily dislocate I guess, and then I have to wait for it to go back in or move my arm a certain way for it go back in.

im getting this surgery next week

I have multidirectional instability of the right shoulder, and will be having the shoulder scoped next month. It's good to see the process involved to better understand it.

@KirbyLTurnage, great video. I hurt my shoulder pretty badly 3 years ago and just learned today that it is the Bankart lesion and I will probably need surgery (did physiotherapy twice and did not heal). I am 24 years old, active and healthy. How long will it take to fully recover from such a procedure?

Its so frustrating, because I literally can't throw a ball anymore without worrying wether or not its gonna slip on me. Im 24 years old, and I dont want this to keep bugging me. i figure the only option is for me to have surgery. its like... when it pops on me, and its "out of place", i push up in my arm pit on it, and it feels like it goes back in, then it pains and is sore for a day or two. I deff shouldn't of let it go so long, but im worried about needing surgery and missing work..

@KirbyLTurnage - Hey, Ive been a pitcher and an outfielder in baseball since i was about 12 years old. In 2006 my shoulder popped out during a ball game on a throw to the plate, but went back in immediately on its own. Then after that happend, every few months it would happen. Then it completely went away...But in 2009, I had to dive to make a catch and on impact with the ground it popped out after about 2 good years. it keeps happening to this day, and continues to worsen. chronic subluxation?
