Severe shoulder dislocation - surgery

In severe cases of shoulder dislocation, your vet might advise surgery. For example if the muscle has torn to a degree it can’t fix naturally with rest, or the joint needs help to stay in the socket.

If shoulder joint instability is severe enough to need surgery, there are various techniques used. Surgery might involve prosthetic stabilisation; shoulder fusion, where the bones of the joints are joined so they can’t move; or a total shoulder replacement, where the shoulder joint is replaced with implants.
