Recurrent shoulder dislocation? New U-M procedure effective when standard repairs are not

[Q8cavalry]

Two important questions:

1-This new procedure does it need Antithrombotic for life?

2-What is the relapse rate in worse circumstance? (Every operation has relapse rate: Laterjat 10%)

I have been dealing with Chronic shoulder subluxations for 3 years now due to a fall in hockey. I also have long thoracic nerve palsy that has been getting a litttle bit better. I still have winging in my scapula that occurs. I have had 2 MRI's and a couple of X-Rays and nothing abnormal came up on them. I have been doing Physical therapy for about 2 years. I have been using an NMES unit for a couple of weeks now. What could be wrong?! How can I fix this?? Its very painful. Please help.

Is this similar to the glenoid recon with the Illiac crest graft? If not I wonder how successful this would be on someone like me with EDS type 3?

Is this operation available in Canada? What is this called? I may need this because my recurring shoulder dislocation seems to be getting worse.

@590221010 The procedure is called osteoarticular allograft (OA) transplantation. it's new and may not be available in Canada. See if you find anything using that term in a Google search. We can't post direct links in the comments.

I'm a 15 yearold defensive end and i dislocated my shoulder last year while going for a swim move my hand was completely up in the air and the O-line man pushed it back out of place. I went to the sidelines and popped it in myself and thought everything was fine but the next day it happened again and the trainer did it this time. A year later during a football game it came out and now it has came out 2 times while i was sleeping. Im hoping this wont affect football, but im not sure what to do.

This procedure was developed based on research Dr. Sekiya did on Hill-Sachs defect. If you'd like to discuss this in detail, send us a message and we'll get you the contact information.

Is this procedure being used in Europe ? What is the official name of this procedure ? If you have Sachs-Hill defect will this help ?
