Arthroscopic shoulder labral repair using Q-FIX knotless anchor technology to reattach torn cartilage and address shoulder instability.
"I saw Dr. Pauyo for shoulder surgery and am almost 4 weeks post-op. He was very thorough with a physical exam, requesting extra imaging and pre-surgery physiotherapy. My recovery so far has been very smooth. Pathway handled my payments and scheduling, and they were very responsive, detail oriented, and friendly!"

Shoulder Labral Repair
The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the shoulder socket (glenoid), deepening it and providing stability. When the labrum tears—often from a shoulder dislocation or repetitive overhead motion—it can cause instability, pain, and a feeling that the shoulder might "slip out."
A Bankart repair is an arthroscopic procedure that reattaches the torn labrum to the socket using small anchors with sutures. This restores the normal anatomy and prevents further dislocations.
