Recurrent shoulder dislocation is a condition where the shoulder joint repeatedly slips out
of place, often after an initial traumatic dislocation. This occurs due to weakened or torn
ligaments, tendons, or the labrum, making the joint unstable.
Causes:
- Previous shoulder dislocation
- Sports injuries or accidents
- Weakness or laxity in shoulder ligaments
- Repetitive overhead movements
Symptoms:
- Frequent slipping or popping sensation in the shoulder
- Pain and swelling after movement or minor trauma
- Feeling of looseness or instability in the joint
- Decreased strength and limited range of motion
Diagnosis & Evaluation:
A detailed physical examination, X-ray, and MRI help assess the damage to ligaments, bones, or soft
tissues and determine the extent of joint instability.
Treatment Options:
- Non-surgical: Rest, immobilization, strengthening exercises, and physiotherapy for mild cases
- Surgical: Arthroscopic shoulder stabilization or Bankart repair for torn ligaments or labrum
- Post-operative care: Rehabilitation to restore strength and prevent recurrence
