Types of Surgery for Shoulder Dislocation
A shoulder dislocation occurs when the ball of the shoulder joint is pulled or knocked out of its socket. In some instances, the shoulder can be eased back into place, but the trauma to the joint can cause instability, pain, and recurring dislocations. In these cases, shoulder surgery is recommended to stabilize the area and minimize the risk of repeated dislocations in the future.
