Dislocated Shoulder – Symptoms, Causes, Treatments

Risk Factors

Any activities that might cause a sudden blow or strong force to the shoulder can increase the risk of a dislocated shoulder. The injury is more common in teenagers and young adults who are physically active or participate in high-risk sports, such as baseball, football, soccer, hockey, and volleyball. Vehicle accidents can also be a major risk factor. All of these triggers can be prevented by taking proper measures and wearing proper gear. [4]
