The ‘Glass shoulder’: individuals’ perspectives of living with at traumatic glenohumeral dislocation – a qualitative study

Introduction: Recurrence rates following traumatic anterior glenohumeral dislocations remain as high as 50%, even following surgical stabilisation. Fear of movement or re-injury influence decisions for return to sport, work and daily and social activities. More detailed information is needed to fully understand consequences of glenohumeral dislocations at personal level. Our aim was to explore lived experiences of persons with traumatic anterior glenohumeral dislocations and highlight strategies to manage fear of reinjury.
