A member asked:
Why might it be that my shoulder keeps dislocating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Labral tear: If this started as a traumatic injury, then most likely you have a labral tear. The labrum is an important stabilizer of the shoulder joint and if torn or stretched will not provide much support to prevent dislocation. There are other non-traumatic causes as well that are far less common. See your local ortho doc for both surgical and non-surgical options.
