Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation: Assessment, Treatment & Recovery
Repeated shoulder dislocations can indicate instability and may damage supporting soft tissues or bone. Assessment helps guide prevention and treatment.
What we assess and consider
Review of dislocation history, stability and imaging when indicated; rehabilitation may be appropriate for some patients, while stabilisation surgery is discussed in selected cases.
Common reasons for assessment
- Shoulder slipping or giving way
- Repeated dislocations during sport or daily activity
- Apprehension with overhead or throwing movements
