First-Time Traumatic Anterior Shoulder Dislocation: Current Concepts.

First-Time Traumatic Anterior Shoulder Dislocation: Current Concepts. Journal of ISAKOS : joint disorders & orthopaedic sports medicine Nazzal, E. M., Herman, Z. J., Engler, I. D., Dalton, J. F., Freehill, M. T., Lin, A. 2023

Abstract

The management of first-time traumatic anterior shoulder dislocations has been a topic of extensive study yet remains controversial. Development of a treatment plan requires an understanding of patient-specific considerations, including demographics, functional demands, and extent of pathology. Each of these can influence rates of recurrence and return to activity. The purpose of this review is to provide a framework for decision-making following a first-time anterior shoulder dislocation, with particular focus on the high-risk young and athletic population. A summary of surgical treatment options and their outcomes is outlined, along with future biomechanical and clinical perspectives.
