The risk of recurrent dislocation after an initial episode varies significantly, ranging from 14% to 100%. Long-term studies have identified the age at which the first shoulder dislocation occurs as the most crucial factor influencing the likelihood of recurrence. Specifically, if the first dislocation occurs under the age of 20 and surgical intervention is not performed, the recurrence rate is approximately 87%. This rate significantly decreases to around 30% for individuals experiencing their first dislocation after the age of 30. The risk of recurrence is particularly elevated in active athletes and individuals whose occupations involve frequent use of their arms above shoulder level. Furthermore, patients with recurrent dislocations face a considerable risk of developing joint damage, with studies indicating that approximately 39% experience such damage within 25 years.
