The majority of shoulder dislocations occur to the front when the upper arm pops out of the socket. It is usually caused a blow to the abducted and externally rotated arm. In this position the only support is a ligament and dynamic stabilization and muscle support does not occur. Once the shoulder is completely dislocated
Arthroscopic or keyhole surgery has involved significantly over the past 25 years and failure rates are similar to open surgery. However significant experience and subspecialty training is required to master these techniques. With keyhole surgery 3-4 little cuts are traditionally made: one cut at the back is used to introduce the camera into the joint, 2 cuts in the front are then used to repair the labral tear again using suture anchors and sutures. Occasionally a fourth initial cut at the back of the shoulder is required to repair labral tears more accurately.
Here are some facts: The shoulder joint is inherently unstable because humeral head is approximately 4 times larger than the small and shallow glenoid. Shoulder stability is mainly maintained by passive stabilizers such as the glenoid labrum and the glenohumeral ligaments. The majority of dislocations occur to the front. Most of the dislocations require a
