Surgical Intervention Following a First Traumatic Anterior Shoulder Dislocation is Worthy of Consideration

Posted on: 09 October, 2023

Thus, surgical intervention following a FTASD is worthy of consideration and is guided by the number of patients that need to receive surgical intervention to prevent one redislocation (i.e., Number Needed to Treat), (subjective) health benefit, complication risk, and costs.
