Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation
Recurrent shoulder dislocation is a condition characterized by repeated episodes of the shoulder joint slipping out of its socket. This often occurs due to an injury or trauma that stretches or tears the ligaments and tendons surrounding the shoulder joint, leading to instability. Each dislocation can cause further damage to these structures, increasing the likelihood of subsequent dislocations. Recurrent shoulder dislocation can significantly impact daily activities and may require medical intervention to stabilize the joint and prevent future episodes. Treatment options may include physical therapy to strengthen the surrounding muscles, wearing a brace or sling to support the shoulder, or surgical procedures to repair damaged ligaments or tighten the joint capsule and reduce instability. Management typically aims to restore shoulder function, alleviate pain, and reduce the risk of future dislocations.
Procedure
Recurrent shoulder dislocation, characterized by repetitive episodes of the shoulder joint slipping out of its socket, often necessitates surgical intervention to stabilize the joint and prevent further dislocations. Common surgical procedures include arthroscopic Bankart repair, which addresses torn or stretched ligaments through minimally invasive means, and the Latarjet procedure, which involves transferring bone to increase the depth of the socket for added stability. In cases where arthroscopic techniques are not feasible, open capsular shift may be considered. Additionally, the Remplissage procedure may be performed to address Hill-Sachs lesions. Post-surgery, patients typically undergo rehabilitation to restore shoulder function, strength, and mobility, with close monitoring for any complications.
