Shoulder dislocation is a common condition in athletes. The shoulder dislocates anteriorly (most common) when the arm is pulled in abduction and external rotation. pancreas then produces little or no insulin.
The first time a shoulder dislocates, it tears the supporting structure called the labrum of the shoulder. This tear is called a Bankart tear. A tear in the labrum does not heal itself and hence patients have recurrent shoulder dislocations. If the shoulder dislocates often, the bankart tear size increases and then the socket bone also breaks. This is then called a Bony Bankart lesion.
A depression develops on the back of the humeral head as a result of the dislocation. This is called a Hill Sach's lesion. If left alone, 70 % of the shoulders will have recurrent dislocations when the arm goes in abduction and external rotation. In order to prevent shoulder dislocation, the best treatment is shoulder arthroscopy and bankart repair.
