The prevalence of traumatic anterior shoulder dislocations in the elderly population has increased because of prolonged life expectancy. Clinical manifestations and prognosis of shoulder dislocations in the elderly are known to differ from those of the younger population. The accurate diagnosis of associated injuries such as rotator cuff tears and anterior capsulolabral lesions is critical for the recovery of shoulder function, for failure to do so may lead to recurrent shoulder dislocation. Especially, the rotator cuff tears have been shown to be the predominant pathological lesion in the majority of elderly patients. Treatment was chosen on the basis of the size of the rotator cuff tear, the presence of an anterior capsulolabral lesion, and the history of dislocations. A satisfactory clinical outcome without recurrence of the disease can be obtained by early detection of injuries and by appropriate application of treatment modalities.
