Joint Replacements- Hip, Knee and Shoulder

Joint replacement surgeries are advanced orthopedic procedures designed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life in patients suffering from severe joint damage due to arthritis, trauma, or degenerative conditions. With extensive training and experience in complex joint replacements, Dr. Rohit V specializes in knee, hip, and shoulder replacements, offering patients state-of-the-art surgical care tailored to their needs.

Arthroscopic Bankart’s Repair

Recurrent anterior shoulder instability is a common problem in young and active individuals, often associated with a Bankart lesion. Arthroscopic Bankart repair is the gold standard for treating these lesions, allowing anatomical restoration of the capsulolabral complex with minimal invasiveness. This technique provides excellent visualization, precise anchor placement, and preservation of shoulder motion, while reducing surgical morbidity compared to open procedures.

He has extensive experience in arthroscopic management of shoulder instability, having performed numerous Bankart repairs across different patient profiles, from athletes to complex revision cases. His expertise also extends to advanced stabilization techniques, tailored to address bone loss and high-risk instability patterns:

Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation

If the shoulder continues to dislocate after the first injury, it often indicates that the labrum has not healed properly and the joint remains unstable. Each new dislocation can cause further damage to the labrum, capsule, and surrounding bone, increasing the likelihood of future episodes. Arthroscopic Bankart’s repair is recommended in such cases to restore stability, prevent repeated dislocations, and protect the shoulder from long-term complications like arthritis.

Bankart’s Repair

Bankart’s repair is a surgical procedure performed to restore stability in shoulders that suffer from recurrent dislocations or persistent instability. The problem usually arises when the labrum—a ring of cartilage that helps keep the ball of the shoulder joint in its socket—is torn away from the glenoid (the shoulder socket). This type of injury is called a Bankart lesion.

During arthroscopic Bankart’s repair, the surgeon uses small incisions and a camera to access the joint. The torn labrum is carefully reattached to the glenoid rim using tiny anchors and sutures. This restores the natural anatomy of the shoulder and prevents the joint from slipping out of place again.

Subscapularis Augmentation

In some cases of severe or recurrent shoulder instability, Bankart’s repair alone may not be enough to restore full stability. This is especially true when there is significant capsular laxity (looseness) or when patients are at high risk of redislocation, such as athletes in contact or overhead sports.

Subscapularis augmentation is an advanced surgical technique where the upper border of the subscapularis tendon is used to reinforce the anterior shoulder capsule along with the Bankart repair. This creates an additional “check-rein” in the front of the shoulder, preventing the humeral head (ball) from slipping out of the socket.

Bone Block Procedures

In some patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations, the problem is not only a torn labrum but also bone loss from the glenoid (socket) or the humeral head. When the socket becomes too shallow due to repeated dislocations, a standard Bankart’s repair may not be sufficient to restore stability.

Bone block procedures involve adding a piece of bone to the front of the glenoid to increase its depth and provide a stronger barrier that prevents the shoulder from slipping out of place.

Latarjet Procedure

The Latarjet procedure is a specialized type of bone block surgery used to treat recurrent shoulder dislocations, especially when there is significant bone loss of the glenoid (socket) or when previous soft tissue repairs have failed.

In this procedure, a small piece of bone called the coracoid process (located in the front of the shoulder) is transferred and fixed to the rim of the glenoid. Along with this bone, the attached tendons are also moved, creating a “sling effect” that provides extra dynamic stability to the shoulder.

Muscle Slide Surgery

Muscle slide surgery involves mobilizing retracted rotator cuff muscles to enable tendon repair in chronic tears. By carefully releasing and sliding the muscles, sufficient length is restored for reattachment. This technique improves repair outcomes, enhances shoulder strength, and prevents further functional decline in complex rotator cuff cases.

Latissimus Dorsi Transfer

This specialized procedure transfers the latissimus dorsi muscle to replace irreparable rotator cuff function. It restores shoulder stability and strength, particularly in cases of massive cuff tears. Arthroscopically assisted techniques improve outcomes, reduce pain, and enable patients to regain active shoulder movements otherwise lost with tendon deficiency.

Cuff Repair with Patch Augmentation

Patch augmentation is used to strengthen rotator cuff repairs, especially in large or complex tears. A biological or synthetic patch is applied over the repaired tendon, enhancing healing and providing additional support. This technique improves repair durability, reduces re-tear risk, and ensures better long-term shoulder function.
