Bankart lesion repair involves reattachment using sutures and anchors. SLAP lesion repair also involves stitching, or your surgeon may decide to remove the torn piece of labrum altogether. You might also need to undergo biceps tenodesis to treat a biceps tendon tear.
If you have severe arthritis or irreparable damage to your shoulder joint, you might require a shoulder replacement. This is also an option for shoulder instability that isn’t responding to other treatments, but in this case, you would have a reverse total shoulder replacement.
