What are the symptoms of a dislocated shoulder? icon plus
Dislocations often happen during sports activity such as skiing or rugby. The symptoms are very noticeable, mainly a square or bulging shoulder as the shoulder joint pops out from the front. Your dislocation will have been reduced by first aid or emergency services. -

Potential treatment options icon plus
Most shoulder dislocations benefit from physiotherapy. Some shoulders need a short keyhole operation to repair torn structures inside. This is usually a day case procedure. Collision athletes, and those whose shoulders have dislocated again despite previous keyhole operations, may be advised to undergo a more complex bone operation to rebuild the socket.
