Reviewing Surgical and Exercise-Based Interventions
The effectiveness of combined surgical and exercise-based interventions following a primary traumatic shoulder dislocation is explored. A systematic review conducted by Dr. Chittower and colleagues analyzed the outcomes of patients treated with either exercise alone or a combination of surgery and exercise. The primary focus was to determine how likely these patients were to return to their activities and their rates of recurrent dislocation. The results indicated that those who underwent surgery in addition to exercise were significantly more likely to resume their activities compared to those who only received exercise treatment.
