INTRODUCTION Recurrent shoulder dislocation — when the shoulder joint repeatedly slips out of place — not only causes pain and limitation, but also carries the risk of long-term instability, functional loss and joint damage. The glenohumeral joint, with its wide range of motion, relies heavily on soft-tissue stabilisers. When those stabilisers are compromised (for example, by a previous dislocation, labral tear, capsular stretch or bony lesion), the risk of recurrence rises.

INTRODUCTION; The shoulder joint  is one of the most mobile and complex joints in the human body, allowing a wide range of movement. However, this mobility makes it highly susceptible to injuries such as rotator cuff tears, impingement, instability, and labral pathologies .
