Anterior shoulder dislocation, as the most common dislocation in humans, is a condition affecting both professional and recreational athletes, particularly in overhead and contact sports. Despite its high incidence, several questions remain within the scientific debate, with many questions still to be clarified, such as: which type and duration of immobilization; what is the best treatment for each type of athlete; what is the best option for the athlete who suffers the first episode of shoulder dislocation during the sports season; which are the return to sports criteria. This article intends to expose the current state of the art on this theme.
