This comprehensive guide will help you understand why dislocations recur, the best treatment options available, recovery time, cost in Ahmedabad/Gujarat, and why Dr. Panchal is trusted by patients across India.

What Is Recurring Joint Dislocation?

Reverse shoulder replacement surgery (also called reverse total shoulder arthroplasty) is a specialized orthopedic procedure designed for patients with severe shoulder arthritis combined with rotator cuff tears or shoulder joint degeneration. Unlike conventional shoulder replacement, this surgery reverses the anatomy of the shoulder joint, placing the ball component on the shoulder blade and the socket on the arm bone.

This innovative approach improves shoulder function, reduces pain, and restores mobility in patients with complex shoulder conditions.

What Is Shoulder Instability After Reverse Shoulder Replacement?

A recurring dislocation (also called recurrent joint dislocation, chronic dislocation, or joint instability) occurs when the same joint gets dislocated repeatedly—even with mild force.

Common types include:

  • Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation

  • Recurrent Knee (Patella) Dislocation

  • Recurrent Elbow Dislocation

  • Recurrent Hip Dislocation

  • Recurrent Ankle Dislocation

The most common is recurrent shoulder dislocation, especially among athletes and gym-goers.

Who Is at Risk of Recurrent Joint Dislocation?

People in Ahmedabad/Gujarat who fall into these categories are more likely to experience repeated dislocations:

  • Athletes (cricket, kabaddi, football, volleyball, swimming)

  • Gym enthusiasts / weightlifters

  • Accident/trauma victims

  • People with weak ligaments or loose shoulder capsule

  • Those with previous shoulder or knee dislocation

  • People with genetic ligament laxity

Symptoms of Recurring Dislocation

If your shoulder, knee, or any joint keeps slipping out of place, you may experience:

  • Repeated “popping out” sensation

  • Severe pain or inability to lift the arm

  • Weakness in the joint

  • Swelling and tenderness

  • Clicking or catching sensation

  • Fear of moving the joint

  • Difficulty performing sports activities

If the dislocation occurs more than once, you require advanced treatment, not just rest or painkillers.

Symptoms of Recurring Dislocation

If your shoulder, knee, or any joint keeps slipping out of place, you may experience:

  • Repeated “popping out” sensation

  • Severe pain or inability to lift the arm

  • Weakness in the joint

  • Swelling and tenderness

  • Clicking or catching sensation

  • Fear of moving the joint

  • Difficulty performing sports activities

If the dislocation occurs more than once, you require advanced treatment, not just rest or painkillers.

Causes of Recurrent Joint Dislocation

1. Old Injury / Improper Healing

If the first dislocation was not treated properly, the ligaments heal loosely, making future dislocations more likely.

2. Ligament or Labrum Tear

Especially in shoulder dislocations, a Bankart lesion or labrum tear causes instability.

3. Weak Muscles

Poor strength in shoulder rotator cuff muscles or thigh muscles around the knee increases risk.

4. Bony Defects / Glenoid Loss

If bone loss has occurred, the joint becomes unstable and cannot stay in its socket.

5. Genetic Laxity

Some people naturally have flexible joints.

Diagnosis of Recurring Dislocation – Advanced Orthopaedic Evaluation in Ahmedabad

For accurate diagnosis, Dr. Karnav Panchal performs:

✔ Clinical joint stability tests
✔ X-rays
✔ MRI / MRI arthrogram
✔ CT scan for bone loss
✔ Ultrasound for ligament damage

Accurate diagnosis ensures the right treatment plan—whether physiotherapy or arthroscopic surgery.

Best Recurring Dislocation Treatment in Ahmedabad / Gujarat

Depending on the severity, Dr. Panchal recommends:

1. Non-Surgical Treatment

Best for mild instability.

Physiotherapy

Improves muscle strength and joint stability.

Focus areas:

  • Rotator cuff strengthening

  • Scapular stability

  • Quadriceps strengthening (for knee)

  • Core stabilisation

Lifestyle Modification

  • Avoid overhead activities

  • Avoid sudden shoulder movement

  • Avoid risky sports until recovery

Bracing

Helps control joint movement and prevent further injury.

2. Surgical Treatment – Most Effective for Recurring Dislocations

If the joint keeps dislocating, arthroscopic surgery is the gold standard.

A. Arthroscopic Bankart Repair

The most common surgery for recurrent shoulder dislocation.

Benefits:

  • Minimally invasive

  • Improves shoulder stability

  • Fast recovery

  • Less pain

  • Small scars

  • Restores sports performance

B. Latarjet Procedure

Performed when bone loss is significant.

Best for:

  • High-level athletes

  • Chronic shoulder instability

C. MPFL Reconstruction (for Knee / Patella Dislocation)

This is the best surgical technique to restore stability to the knee after repeated dislocations.

D. Ligament Reconstruction (Elbow / Ankle)

Strengthens the loose ligament with graft tissue.

E. Revision Surgery

For patients with failed previous surgeries.
