  • Summary

  • Failure of shoulder stabilization surgery continues to plague contact athletes. Football players are thus at high risk of a repeat shoulder dislocation even after a well-done surgery to stabilize that joint. Such is the nature of a sport with violent and unpredictable collisions. Dr. Andrew Pennock, MD and his team at Rady Children’s in San Diego investigated the outcomes for high school football players who underwent arthroscopic stabilization surgery. They anticipated finding that the younger the player at the time of surgery, the higher risk of recurrence throughout his high school career. What they didn’t anticipate finding was that a high percentage of players who opted not to return to football did so because of fear. While we have seen this fear factor impact athletes after ACL reconstruction, the magnitude of this effect in this population was surprising.
