Lecturer & Consultant of Orthopedic Surgery (Faculty of Medicine) | Specialist in Knee & Shoulder Surgery
If your shoulder has dislocated once, there is a high chance it will happen again, especially if the initial injury happened before the age of 25. Shoulder dislocation surgery in Egypt is a specialty of Dr. Mohamed Labib, helping patients achieve "rock-solid" stability through either soft-tissue repair or bone-transfer techniques.
When the shoulder dislocates, it often tears the labrum (a cartilage ring) from the socket. This is called a Bankart Lesion . Until this is repaired, the joint remains unstable and prone to recurring dislocations, which can cause progressive bone loss and permanent nerve damage.
For most patients, we perform an arthroscopic Bankart repair . Through small portals, we re-attach the torn labrum to the socket using tiny anchors. This "anatomical" fix restores the joint's suction-seal effect and prevents the ball from slipping out of the socket.
Stability is restored instantly, but the tissue needs time to anchor down. Rehabilitation focuses on strengthening the shoulder blade (scapular) muscles and the rotator cuff to provide a muscular dynamic stabilizer for the joint.
Dr. Labib accurately evaluates whether your instability can be fixed by keyhole surgery or needs an open bone-block procedure (Latarjet). This assessment is what makes him a leading orthopedic shoulder specialist in Cairo .

The risk is very low (less than 5% for Bankart and less than 3% for Latarjet) when performed by an expert like Dr. Labib.
Arthroscopic repairs leave only three tiny 5mm marks. The Latarjet procedure leaves a small, neat incision on the front of the shoulder.
A specialized shoulder immobilizer or sling is typically worn for 4 to 6 weeks to ensure the labrum or bone-block heals firmly.
Strengthening begins at 3 months, with a gradual return to gym activities or heavy manual labor at 6 months.
Chronic instability is usually caused by a torn labrum (cartilage ring) or a 'dent' in the bone, making the socket too shallow to hold the ball.
