“Arthroscopic Shoulder Stabilization in High School Football Players” with Author Dr. Andrew Pennock, MD

  • 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.

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.
