Why 13 Year Kid S Shoulder Popping Out Frequently?

Yes, maybe you can. Ny 13 year old granddaughter has a shoulder that keeps popping out. She is very tall and is a dancer since the age of 3. She has been in physical therapy for months, but no improvement as yet. She will be seeing an upper body extremity pediatric specialist for the second time and I feel she may need surgery but know at her age they don t like to do this. I have heard about Marian syndrome and are worried she could be one that might have this. Her shoulder just seems so fluid and will pop out whenever she lifts her arm or rotates it. She was unable to do her solo in dance and complete her completion programs. I worked in orthopedics for years so know probably too much and it scares me. Please give me your insight. Nancy
