I had a Bankart repair when I was 15 after dislocations playing softball and then basketball. I had a Hilsachs lesion and a torn labrum.The surgeon actually performed the surgery twice in one day. I was in the hospital for two days. My surgeon assured me that it would never come out again. I could feel it slip 2 years after surgery and even passed up a college scholarship to play basketball because of instability.

I am now 28 and I completely dislocated it by sneezing!! I will be seeing a surgeon for the Dallas Stars next week. Is it common to have a dislocation after a Bankart repair?
