Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation in Bengaluru at VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic

At VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic, Bengaluru, Dr. Vijay Girish provides expert arthroscopic and open surgical solutions for Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation — a condition where the shoulder repeatedly slips out of its socket due to ligament or bone instability. Through precise diagnosis and advanced surgical repair, our goal is to restore shoulder stability, reduce pain, and help patients regain confidence in movement.

What is Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation?

Recurrent shoulder dislocation occurs when the shoulder joint, once dislocated, becomes unstable and continues to dislocate with minimal force or during routine activities. It often results from damage to the labrum (Bankart lesion), stretched ligaments, or bone loss on the glenoid or humeral head. Treatment focuses on repairing these damaged structures using arthroscopic procedures such as Bankart repair, Latarjet procedure, or Remplissage, depending on the extent of instability and bone involvement.

Benefits of Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation Treatment

Surgical stabilization provides lasting benefits for patients suffering from repeated shoulder dislocations:

Restores shoulder stability and prevents future dislocations during activity or sports.
Reduces pain, fear of movement, and functional limitations caused by instability.
Minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures result in smaller scars and faster recovery.
Improves shoulder strength, rotation, and range of motion with proper rehabilitation.
Enables athletes and active individuals to return safely to overhead and contact sports.

Recovery and Outcomes

The arm is typically supported in a sling for 3–4 weeks after surgery to allow tissue healing.
Gradual physiotherapy begins to restore mobility, followed by strengthening exercises.
Most patients return to light activities within 4–6 weeks, depending on the procedure type.
Full recovery and return to sports may take 4–6 months with guided rehabilitation.
Long-term outcomes show restored joint stability, improved shoulder strength, and reduced risk of redislocation.
