A shoulder dislocation that occurs more than once is called a recurrent shoulder dislocation (habitual shoulder dislocation), which generally refers to anterior dislocation because anterior dislocation accounts for the majority of dislocations. Most shoulder dislocations can be repositioned manually in the hospital, and some patients can even reposition themselves, but there are some cases where it is difficult to reposition the shoulder manually. Multiple dislocations of the shoulder joint can lead to damage to the bone and soft tissue around the joint, and over time, traumatic arthritis will occur, resulting in pain and limited movement. Habitual dislocations of the shoulder joint should be operated as early as possible because each dislocation is a new injury to the joint, increasing the difficulty of healing. In recent years, with the continuous development of sports medicine and advances in surgical techniques, the understanding of habitual dislocation of the shoulder joint has improved significantly, and now, there are quite mature procedures and good treatment results for this disease, and it can be said that the vast majority of them can be cured. There are two types of minimally invasive procedures: one is arthroscopic repair of the glenoid labrum (other minimally invasive procedures such as bone grafting and infraspinatus fixation may be required); the other is open surgery, which is also minimally invasive, with a 4-5 cm incision for bony reconstruction of the shoulder glenoid and soft tissue tightening. The type of surgery used depends on the condition and extent of the lesion: in general, open surgery is required if there is a lot of scapular glenoid defect, otherwise arthroscopic repair is feasible. The choice of surgical procedure needs to be based on physical examination and imaging evaluation. The re-dislocation rate after surgery for habitual dislocation of the shoulder is generally <10%.
