KAUTA, Ntambue J et al. Current concepts on the assessment of a patient with a traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation. SA orthop. j. [online]. 2022, vol.21, n.2, pp.100-105. ISSN 2309-8309. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2309-8309/2022/v21n2a6.
Anterior shoulder dislocation is a common condition that most orthopaedic surgeons will have to deal with in their practice. Nonoperative management of the initial traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation is likely to lead to a recurrent shoulder dislocation in more than 90% of cases in the younger active population. Recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation can persist even after instability surgery in certain cases. A detailed, accurate assessment of the patient is of paramount importance for successful treatment. This review aims to provide insight into key concepts to consider in the assessment of an anterior shoulder dislocation. Predisposing factors, clinical examination and the role of imaging in the assessment of an anterior shoulder dislocation will be reviewed. Level of evidence: Level 5
