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

The shoulder is the most commonly dislocated joint in the human body, occurring most often in young, athletic people. New research from the University of Michigan Health System shows patients who have recurrent shoulder dislocations may benefit from surgical reconstruction using cadaver bone and cartilage to essentially sculpt a new shoulder.

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.

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?
