A lot of treatment methods for shoulder dislocation and their evidences have been reported. It is the patients that finally choose the treatment, based on those evidences. For sports players, not only re-dislocation rate but also the period until return to sports is the important factor in selecting the treatment. The purpose of this study was to clarify the actual condition of shoulder dislocation in the high school rugby football player, and to investigate which methods of treatment they expected. One-hundred sixty-one high school rugby football players were studied. First, we informed them about re-dislocation rate and the period until they return to sport in the respective treatment method. Next, we did a questionary survey. The shown treatment methods were doing nothing, fixation at internal rotation, fixation at external rotation, arthroscopic surgery, and the use of braces. The ratio of the player having experienced shoulder dislocation was 8%, and among them the ratio of the player who experienced more than twice dislocation was 46%. The answers to the question which method was chosen if you dislocate your shoulder just before the season was doing nothing: 7.5%, internal rotation fixation: 0%, external rotation fixation: 29.8%, operation: 26.7%, and brace: 31.7%. We showed the possibility that repetitive dislocation patient cannot perform sports enough, however there were many players who select the use of a brace that enable the early sports return but have comparatively high re-dislocation rates.
