Abstract
Dislocation of the shoulder joint is a common injury. Initial management takes the form of urgent reduction, for which many methods have been described. Associated injuries carry significant morbidity and must be recognised. Further post-reduction treatment for the first-time dislocator has traditionally been non-operative; however, increasing evidence suggests a role for acute surgical arthroscopic stabilisation in certain patient groups. This article aims to give an evidence-based overview of the epidemiology, pathology and initial and further treatment options for shoulder dislocation.
