Shoulder dislocations and consequences of shoulder dislocations are problems for athletes in popular sports and competitive sports. After a dislocation concomitant lesions e.g. instabilities, pain and redislocations are occurring. At 31 athletes of 12 different forms of sports (aikido, football, baseball, basketball, bodybuilding, soccer, handball, judo, ski, squash, rugby, waterball) shoulders with a dislocation were examined clinically and with ultrasound, X-rays, MRI (inclusive open-MRI), CT and if necessary with arthroscopy. The athletes were questioned for their sportability on an average of 19,5 months after the shoulder dislocation. Typical concomitant lesions (lesions of the labrum glenoidale, Hill-Sachs lesions etc.) were found in high rates. Lesions of the rotator cuff and bursitis were also found. Our results are showing the rate of risk for a shoulder dislocation depending on the different forms of sports and the long-time consequences for the future sportability. Verf.-Referat
