[Recurrent shoulder dislocation. On the sports capacity following surgical therapy]

The traumatic dislocation is one of the most seen dislocations of great joints. In 70% it happens to patients during sports and between 20 and 60% of cases are followed by instability of the shoulder. An explorative study informs about case history, postoperative course and sports participation after surgical treatment of recurrent dislocations of the shoulder. Good results of sports participation can be achieved with early diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
