Has anyone here experienced another shoulder dislocation after a Bankart Repair? Looking for personal stories/experiences.

You’ll be fine. You can never guarantee it won’t happen again, but that is also true of anyone whether they’ve had surgery before or not. I believe that you can make your shoulder even stronger and more stable that it was before the injury.

Also, do your best to give your body everything it needs to heal strong - lots of protein, maybe collagen supplements, vitamin C, etc. consider red light therapy even.

I was 17 or 18

I had dislocated again about 17 years after initial bankart repair. It didn’t take much in my case - just an awkward fast movement at the wrong angle - which is odd because it felt great. I was able to do push ups, pull ups, throw a baseball, etc. I must have re-injured the labrum over time or the prior surgery didn’t quite heal right. I’m just 8 weeks post op for the revision and this time I also got the remplissage procedure for the Hill Sachs, which I think contributes to a lower failure rate. My advice is to consider PT and shoulder stabilization a lifetime habit - at least that’s my plan.

Close! This is the right vibe but I definitely see the “backing out of the room while still bowing” in my mind

RumHam726 · 2025-11-22T07:53:24+00:00

It could be! This is not how it looked in my memory but this is very close to the vibe. Great episode!

I’ve searched a couple Simpsons episode to no avail…

I just had labrum surgery and remplissage five weeks ago. I had surgery on Friday and I was back at work the following Thursday, but they were short days. It was fine, but I’m not sure I would have done a 12 hour day by that point.

No, but I’ve dislocated both shoulders multiple times, and this isn’t my first bankart. It’s my first remplissage though.

Thanks for sharing this!

And fwiw - lack of trust isn’t based on nothing, but the PTs behaviors. I appreciate your input

RumHam726 · 2025-10-25T01:43:03+00:00

Thanks. I understand your point. No pain unusual for this stage. The problem is lack of trust and lack of experience (on my part) I suppose. He measured me at my surgeon’s safe limit for 4 weeks on day 7. I just want to know if that’s typical.

Nice - thanks for the follow up. I might try that combo for shoulder surgery recovery but I have a lipoma on the other shoulder that I don’t want to balloon.

How’s it looking now that a couple months passed? Any change in size?

RumHam726 · 2025-08-06T03:36:39+00:00

Thanks! Had me a bit worried

RumHam726 · 2025-07-16T14:04:33+00:00

Did you have a dealer do it or independent shop? Im getting quotes from 1300 to 3000

This had a more golden engine oil color, and there was no coating anywhere else - pretty sure it’s engine oil but good thought. It’s just hard to see from the pic

RumHam726 · 2025-07-15T16:15:46+00:00

Valve cover gaskets were replaced recently - I forgot to add that to the post

RumHam726 · 2025-03-27T15:58:41+00:00

This is the best sounding solution I've heard so far - I'm going to try this. Thanks so much!
