Abstract

  • RCT is the key problem after shoulder dislocation in the “older” patient.

  • Combined lesions (RCT+capsular-ligamentous complex) are largely associated with repetitive dislocations.

  • Determination of RCT (pre-existing vs. dislocation associated) is difficult in most patients.

  • No standard therapeutic regimen can be recommended regarding the literature.

  • Conservative treatment is suggested in cases with asymptomatic partial RCT.

  • Goal of surgical treatment is reconstruction of shoulder function by repair of RCT and reestablish shoulder stability.
