Shoulder Dislocation Treatment in Peshawar — When Is Surgery Needed?

Shoulder dislocation is a common injury in Peshawar — particularly among young athletes and manual workers. Understanding when conservative treatment is sufficient and when surgery is needed is critical.

First Dislocation

Treated with reduction (putting the joint back), immobilisation, and physiotherapy. However, recurrence risk after first dislocation is high — particularly in patients under 25.

Recurrent Dislocation

Recurrent dislocations progressively damage the labrum, capsule, and eventually the bone of the shoulder socket. Early surgical intervention prevents bone loss and gives the best long-term outcomes.

Surgical Options

Arthroscopic Bankart repair — for standard instability without significant bone loss.

Latarjet procedure — gold-standard for patients with significant glenoid bone loss confirmed on CT scan.
