Recurrent shoulder luxation

Recurrent shoulder dislocation is the most frequent pathology shoulder, and is easier to occur the more premature has been the first luxation. If the first occurred before age 18, there is a 95% chance to lead to a recurrent dislocation. Usually they treated with arthroscopy, after which the shoulder is immobilized for several weeks.

 

Causes of recurrent shoulder dislocation

According to experts in Traumatology , the main causes of a dislocated shoulder that recur are as follows:

  • Age. 4 out of 10 people who luxaron shoulder again have a second dislocation. In addition, if the first was before the 18 years the statistic increases to 9 out of 10. So, age is a factor in recurrent shoulder dislocation.
  • Trauma, sports, sex and dominant arm. All these factors determine the likelihood of a second dislocation, and the more dislocations suffer the easier it is to recur. The most effective way to stop them is arthroscopy, which is a minimally invasive technique.
