The shoulder joint is the most frequently dislocated joint of our body. The most important reason for this is that the amount of movement in my shoulder joint is greater than other joints. While these movements are performed, the anatomy of the shoulder socket, the cartilaginous structure surrounding the socket called the labrum, and the surrounding muscles and ligaments are responsible for the stability of the shoulder joint. These structures serve as dynamic and static stabilizers in the shoulder. In other words, they enable the shoulder to function.
Shoulder dislocations are often observed after trauma, on one shoulder and in a forward dislocation. Apart from this, superior, posterior and inferior dislocations can also be observed, albeit slightly. In addition, although rare, bilateral dislocations can be observed after an epileptic seizure or electric shock. Dislocations that occur in the 20s often recur. In these patients, second or subsequent dislocations may occur during very simple trauma or daily activities (dressing, throwing a ball, swimming, etc.).
Patients apply to the emergency department with severe pain and the inability to move their arm during the dislocation. After the diagnosis is made by an orthopedist following examination and radiographs, the shoulder is placed in place with special maneuvers. Dislocation may sometimes be accompanied by fracture, and treatment is tailored to two pathologies. In recurrent dislocations, both the structure called the labrum in the shoulder socket and the head of the shoulder bone may be damaged over time.
Acute dislocations can often be treated under emergency conditions or under anesthesia by closed reduction and subsequent stabilization with a Velpau bandage. In chronic or recurrent dislocations, permanent treatment is provided by suturing the labrum tear, also called "Bankart lesion", back to its original place using an arthroscopic, that is, closed method, using stitched screws (anchors). With this method, both cosmetic benefits and earlier recovery of daily activities are achieved compared to open surgery.
