Recurring dislocation Surgery In Ahmedabad/Gujarat

Spread the love

Recurring or recurrent dislocation is one of the most challenging joint problems faced by patients in Ahmedabad and across Gujarat. When a joint—most commonly the shoulder, knee (patella), elbow, ankle, or hip—keeps popping out of its socket repeatedly, it causes pain, disability, weakness, and instability.

While a single dislocation can sometimes heal with non-surgical methods, recurring dislocations almost always need surgery to prevent long-term damage.

If you are suffering from frequent shoulder slipping, knee popping out, repeated elbow instability, or similar symptoms, Recurring Dislocation Surgery performed by Dr. Karnav Panchal offers long-term cure with excellent success rates.

This detailed guide covers everything you need to know about:

  • Why dislocations recur

  • When surgery is needed

  • Types of surgeries

  • Recovery timeline

  • Cost of recurring dislocation surgery in Ahmedabad/Gujarat

  • Why Dr. Panchal is the preferred surgeon for recurrent dislocation cases

A recurring (recurrent) dislocation means the joint repeatedly slips out of place due to ligament laxity, bone defects, or weak supporting structures.
This condition does not resolve permanently without targeted treatment and often leads to:

  • Increased instability

  • Severe pain

  • Loss of confidence in joint movement

  • Difficulty lifting, running, playing sports

  • Early arthritis

Common types of recurrent dislocations treated surgically in Ahmedabad:

  • Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation

  • Recurrent Patella (Knee Cap) Dislocation

  • Recurrent Elbow Dislocation

  • Recurrent Ankle Dislocation

  • Recurrent Hip Dislocation

If your joint repeatedly dislocates, you may have:

  • Joint “popping out” feeling

  • Intense pain during movement

  • Swelling, bruising

  • Clicking or catching sensation

  • Weak grip / weak arm (shoulder case)

  • Inability to lift or rotate

  • Repeated episodes even during daily activities

These symptoms indicate severe structural damage, requiring surgical correction.

Recurring dislocation surgery is recommended when:

✔ The joint dislocates more than once
✔ MRI shows labrum tear / ligament tear
✔ Bone loss is present
✔ Physiotherapy failed
✔ You are an athlete needing stable performance
✔ Shoulder slips out even during normal activity
✔ Knee cap keeps shifting sideways

Surgery prevents future dislocations and restores full joint function.

Causes of Recurring Dislocation

1. Labrum Tear / Bankart Lesion (Shoulder)

Once the labrum is torn, it cannot hold the joint in place.

2. Weak Ligaments

Ligaments lose tightness after the first injury.

3. Bone Loss

Common in repeated shoulder/knee dislocations.

4. Muscle Weakness

Especially rotator cuff weakness.

5. Genetic Joint Laxity

Hypermobility increases risk.

Types of Recurring Dislocation Surgeries Performed by Dr. Karnav Panchal

Dr. Panchal is trained in advanced international techniques for arthroscopic (keyhole) surgeries, offering faster recovery and high stability.


1. Arthroscopic Bankart Repair (Shoulder)

The most preferred surgical method for recurrent shoulder dislocation.

Benefits
  • Minimally invasive

  • Small incisions

  • Fast recovery

  • High stability

  • Restores sports performance

Procedure

The torn labrum is repaired using anchors to tighten the joint capsule and prevent future dislocation.


2. Latarjet Procedure (Shoulder Bone Loss Case)

If bone loss >20%, Bankart alone is not enough.
Latarjet transfers a bone block to stabilise the shoulder.

Best For
  • Athletes

  • Heavy lifters

  • Repeated dislocations

  • Failed previous surgeries


3. MPFL Reconstruction (Patella / Knee Dislocation)

Performed for recurrent kneecap dislocation.
MPFL is reconstructed using a graft to keep the patella in correct alignment.

Results
  • No more patella slipping

  • Improved knee stability

  • Full sports return possible


4. Ligament Reconstruction (Elbow / Ankle Dislocation)

Loose ligaments are reconstructed using tendon grafts to stabilise the joint.


5. Revision Surgery

For patients who had previous failed dislocation surgeries elsewhere.
