Prognosis | Shoulder Luxation

Prognosis

  • In the case of traumatic (recurrent) shoulder joint dislocation The probability of recurrent (= renewed) dislocation is greater the younger the patient and the greater the level of sporting activity. The limitations caused by the individually varying extent of joint involvement in a dislocation and the associated differences in the type and duration of the therapeutic measures carried out play a major role with regard to the risk of a further dislocation, so that only the treating physician can make an individual prognosis.

  • Atraumatic, habitual shoulder joint luxations The probability of recurrence is greatly increased because the repositioning and subsequent treatment – if not performed surgically – did not cause any changes with regard to the partially congenital cause
  • The likelihood of recurrence is greatly increased, since the repositioning and subsequent treatment – if not performed surgically – did not cause any changes with regard to the partially congenital cause
