Treatment of labral tears

What is the labrum?
The labrum is a circular piece of cartilage that goes circumferentially around the socket. The bicep tendon anchors to the upper part of the rim. Causes and symptoms of a labral tear:
Tears or detachments can cause pain, clicking, or instability (popping out of place). Tears in the front portion of the rim are associated with instability or dislocations. A displaced labrum can cause a popping or clunking sensation.
Treatment:
Labral detachment can be repaired utilizing small screw anchors with sutures. The anchors are inserted into the edge of the rim of the socket. The sutures are passed around the cartilage rim and tied.

Treatment of Shoulder Dislocation

What is Shoulder dislocation?
Shoulder dislocation occurs when the ligaments and capsule that form a sheath around the ball and socket stretch or tear. This allows the ball to pop out of the socket (dislocate). They can be anterior (out the front) or posterior (out the back). About 90% of dislocations are anterior.
Treatment:
Initial treatment is manipulation of the ball back into the socket. This is followed by the use of a sling or immobilizer. The recommended time of immobilization is decreasing. After about 10 days or so gentle motion can be started. Extension coupled with overhead elevation is avoided. The younger the patient is at the time of their first dislocation the more likely it is they will dislocate again. The recurrence rate for an 18 year old with a traumatic dislocation is approximately 90%. This is due to the fact that it takes more force to tear a young persons ligaments than an older individual. Treatment for repetitive dislocations is surgical repair of the labrum if it’s detached and tightening of the ligaments/capsule sometimes.

Hip Replacement

What is a hip replacement?
A hip replacement is when the ball of the hip socket is replaced with a metal ball that connects to the bone of the upper thigh. It is done through a metal stem that goes down the center of the shaft of the femur (thigh bone). The ball sits on top of this stem and the metal acetabulum (hip Socket) articulates with the ball. Various materials including metal, plastic and ceramic can be used as the lining of the socket.

Knee Replacement

What is a knee replacement?
A knee replacement is when metal pieces replace the end of the femur (thigh bone) and the top of the tibia (shin bone). A molded plastic piece fits between the 2 metallic components acting as a spacer and a bearing. A domed piece of plastic resurfaces the underside of the patella (knee cap).
