Summary

Adolescent anterior shoulder dislocations, especially traumatic ones in 14-17 year olds with Bankart lesions, frequently recur. Prophylactic surgery is recommended for this high-risk group to prevent instability.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Adolescent Traumatology

Background:

  • Anterior shoulder dislocations are common in adolescents.
  • A significant subset of these dislocations occurs in individuals aged 12-17 years.
  • Understanding long-term outcomes and risk factors for recurrence is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of primary anterior shoulder dislocations in adolescents.
  • To identify factors associated with recurrent dislocations and shoulder instability.
  • To determine the efficacy of surgical intervention in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical evaluation of 28 adolescent patients (12-17 years) a mean of 7.1 years post-dislocation.
  • Radiographic imaging and advanced imaging (MRI/CT arthrotomography) in select cases.

  • Analysis of recurrence rates based on injury mechanism (traumatic vs. atraumatic) and age at initial injury.

    • Main Results:

    • Recurrent dislocations occurred in 86% of patients.
    • Adolescents aged 14-17 with traumatic primary dislocations had a 92% recurrence rate and averaged 7 redislocations.
    • Bankart lesions were identified in 80% of patients with traumatic dislocations aged 14-17.
    • Non-operated patients showed instability; operated patients with traumatic dislocations had good outcomes, unlike those with atraumatic dislocations.

    Conclusions:

    • Adolescents aged 14-17 experiencing traumatic primary anterior shoulder dislocations with associated Bankart lesions are at high risk for recurrence and instability.
    • Prophylactic stabilizing surgery at the time of initial injury is indicated for this specific high-risk group.
    • Surgical outcomes are favorable for traumatic dislocations but less so for atraumatic cases requiring further investigation.
