Treatment

The most common treatment is to place the shoulder back into position and immobilize it in a sling for a few weeks. Occasionally surgery may be needed to relocate the joint. Sometimes, there is a tendency to experience further dislocation. This problem is known as unstable shoulder.

If non-operative treatment in muscle-strengthening exercise fails, arthroscopic surgery in early cases and open surgery in late cases is recommended to stabilize the shoulder. Open technique involves transferring a bone fragment to the deficient glenoid rim- latarjet procedure.
