A minimally invasive surgery of the joint to relieve of major joint related pain. the technique uses 2.9 mm diameter scope to visualize the joint, creating a similar 2-3 mm incision can allow introduction of instruments to treat structures.

Advantages - minimally invasive 

Post surgery - take it easy for two days, back to active sports in 1 month.

when the same technique is used to reconstruct structures like torn ligaments and repair of torn of meniscus, the post operative rest needed becomes longer with one month to recuperate which is esentially to allow the body to accept the implanted ligament or heal the repaired structures.

A very time-tested and elegant surgery done to repair the torn anterior cartilage, thereby preventing anterior dislocation. the MRI helps us evaluate the torn anterior cartilage and evaluate the scope of early repair.

In cases where the dislocation has impacted the bone significantly, altering its shape to the extent that this itself predisposes to redislocation. A soft tissue restraint is created by anchoring a part of the tendons around the joint into the bony defect to prevent the biomechanics leading to redislocation. A remplissage is sometimes added to a Bankart surgery on a case-by-case basis, based on several parameters.
