Abstract
In brief: Patients with recurrent anterior shoulder subluxations and dislocations are compared in terms of recurrences, delays in diagnoses, and treatments. Based on these criteria, the subluxers experienced substantially more disability than the dislocators. Since shoulder instability is such a frequent problem in athletes (sports caused the initial episode in nearly 70% of the patients), professionals who deal with athletic injuries must be aware of the shoulder subluxation syndrome, recognize It early, and quickly initiate appropriate treatments.Keywords
