Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation

Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation – Expert Diagnosis & Long-Term Relief

Understanding Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, making it more susceptible to dislocations. When a shoulder dislocates multiple times, it is termed a Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation. This condition can significantly impact your daily activities, athletic performance, and quality of life. At Vedant Hospital, Gota, Dr. Amish Shah, a trusted Orthopedic Doctor in Gota, Ahmedabad, offers advanced treatment for shoulder instability to prevent repeated dislocations and restore joint stability.

What Causes Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation?

Recurrent dislocations usually develop after an initial traumatic event. If the torn ligaments, labrum, or joint capsule do not heal properly, the shoulder remains unstable and more prone to future dislocations. Common causes include:

  • Previous shoulder dislocation – Especially if not treated surgically in young, active individuals.
  • Labral tears (Bankart lesion) – Damage to the cartilage that stabilizes the joint.
  • Ligament laxity – Looseness of the joint due to repeated injury or genetic factors.
  • High-impact sports or trauma – Activities like football, wrestling, or falls.

Symptoms of Recurrent Dislocation

  • Frequent dislocations or the feeling of the shoulder "slipping out" of place
  • Persistent pain and weakness after movements
  • Clicking, popping, or grinding sensation in the shoulder
  • Difficulty performing overhead or athletic activities

Treatment Options

Dr. Amish Shah tailors the treatment plan based on the severity of instability and patient needs. Options include:

  • Physiotherapy – Strengthening exercises to support the joint and improve control.
  • Arthroscopic Bankart Repair – A minimally invasive surgical procedure to repair the torn labrum and tighten the shoulder capsule.
  • Latarjet Procedure – For severe or recurrent cases, a bone graft procedure to reinforce shoulder stability.
  • Rehabilitation – A personalized program post-surgery to regain full range of motion and prevent recurrence.
