Traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation is a frequent and painful injury which equally affects young and older persons. The incidence is approx. 15 cases per 100,000 persons and year (6). The standard treatment that had been common for a long time was immobilization, in which the affected shoulder was fixed in front of the body in internal rotation. However doubts of this treatment method grew ...

A neglected shoulder dislocation is a rarer entity and only few cases are reported in the literature. An anterior dislocation of the shoulder is rarely missed as patients present with limb in abduction and external rotation, an attitude very familiar to orthopaedic surgeon. Occasionally such cases are missed when they present with fracture of proximal humerus or when they receive treatment from...

An anterior glenohumeral dislocation is a serious condition which can lead to soft tissue damage and substantial defects of the humeral head and glenoid. Disturbance of shoulder joint congruency and soft tissue balancing can lead to poor function and severe impairment in these patients [1]. Little is known about the results of shoulder arthroplasty for the treatment of fixed glenohumeral disloc...

CONTEXT Primary anterior shoulder dislocation is a frequent injury in young active patients. Traditionally, conservative nonoperative primary treatment has been advocated for a majority of first-time dislocators, whereas operative stabilization has been reserved for recurrent dislocators or those involved in strenuous physical activity. Currently, no consensus exists on whether to treat a first...

INTRODUCTION Bilateral shoulder dislocation are most commonly posterior type. These are most commonly due to seizure disorder and electrocution. Anterior shoulder dislocations occurring bilaterally without any predisposing factors are very rare. These types of injuries are due to trauma with a unique mechanism of injury. To best of our knowledge there are only few cases of similar kind are repo...

HYPOTHESIS Dislocation is the most common serious complication after reverse shoulder arthroplasty. One theorized cause is subscapularis insufficiency because the tendon cannot be repaired at the time of surgery. There are no documented risk assessments of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty dislocation related to this cause. The study objective was to quantify the risk of postoperative disloca...

Brachial plexus injuries (BPIs) caused by shoulder dislocation usually have a transient character and tend to resolve spontaneously. However, in some patients the symptoms can persist and require operative intervention. This work aims to determine the risk factors for persistent BPIs resulting from shoulder dislocation. The study comprised 73 patients (58 men, 15 women; mean age: 50 years) trea...
