The shallow ball-and-socket joint of the shoulder is the most frequently dislocated major joint in the human body. The shoulder often dislocates as the upper arm bone (humerus) comes forward out of the joint.

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.
