Shoulder Dislocation & Instability

Treatment of recurrent shoulder instability to restore stability and reduce the risk of further dislocation.

A shoulder dislocation occurs when the head of the humerus moves out of the glenoid socket. Recurrent dislocations may damage the labrum, ligaments, and bone around the shoulder joint.

Treatment Options

Treatment depends on factors such as age, activity level, number of dislocations, bone loss, associated injuries, and previous surgery. Options include:

  • Structured physiotherapy and rehabilitation
  • Arthroscopic labral repair, such as Bankart repair
  • Bone-block procedures such as Latarjet in selected patients
  • Other stabilisation procedures when clinically indicated

Recovery

Early phase

Protection and sling support where appropriate.

Intermediate phase

Gradual restoration of movement under guidance.

Following months

Progressive strengthening, stability training, and return to sport-specific activities when appropriate.
