=== Risk Factors === A variety of risk factors can predispose individuals to joint dislocation.<ref name=":0" /> They can vary depending on location of the joint. Genetic factors and underlying medical conditions can further increase risk.<ref name=":1" /> Genetic conditions, such as [[Hypermobility (joints)|hypermobility]] syndrome and [[Ehlers-Danlos syndrome]] put individuals at increased risk for dislocations.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2017-09-24 |title=Ehlers-Danlos syndromes | work = Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD) β an NCATS Program |url=https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/6322/ehlers-danlos-syndromes |access-date=2025-01-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170924001628/https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/6322/ehlers-danlos-syndromes |archive-date=2017-09-24 }}</ref> Hypermobility syndrome is an inherited disorder that affects the ligaments around joints.<ref name="pmid26731093">{{cite journal | vauthors = Ruemper A, Watkins K | title = Correlations Between General Joint Hypermobility and Joint Hypermobility Syndrome and Injury in Contemporary Dance Students | journal = Journal of Dance Medicine & Science| volume = 16 | issue = 4 | pages = 161β6 | date = December 2012 | pmid = 26731093 | doi = 10.1177/1089313X1201600403}}</ref> The loosened or stretched ligaments in the joint provide less stability and allow for the joint to dislocate more easily.<ref name="pmid26731093" /> Dislocation can also occur because of conditions such as [[rheumatoid arthritis]].<ref name="Subagio_2023">{{cite journal | vauthors = Subagio EA, Wicaksono P, Faris M, Bajamal AH, Abdillah DS | title = Diagnosis and Prevalence (1975-2010) of Sudden Death due to Atlantoaxial Subluxation in Cervical Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Literature Review | journal = TheScientificWorldJournal | volume = 2023 | pages = 6675489 | date = 2023-10-05 | pmid = 37841539 | pmc = 10569890 | doi = 10.1155/2023/6675489 | doi-access = free | veditors = Dalal V }}</ref> In Rheumatoid arthritis the production of synovial fluid decreases, gradually causing pain, swollen joints, and stiffness.<ref name="Subagio_2023" /> A forceful push causes friction and can dislocate the joint.<ref name="Subagio_2023" /> Notably, joint instability in the neck is a potential complication of rheumatoid arthritis.<ref name="Subagio_2023" /> Participation in sports, being male, variations in the shape of the joint, being older, and joint hypermobility in males are risk factors associated with an increased risk of first time dislocation.<ref name="Wright_2024">{{cite journal | vauthors = Wright A, Ness B, Spontelli-Gisselman A, Gosselin D, Cleland J, Wassinger C | title = Risk Factors Associated with First Time and Recurrent Shoulder Instability: A Systematic Review | journal = International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy | volume = 19 | issue = 5 | pages = 522β534 | date = 2024-05-01 | pmid = 38707855 | pmc = 11065770 | doi = 10.26603/001c.116278 }}</ref> Risk factors for ''recurrent'' dislocation include participation in sports, being a young male, a history of a previous dislocation with an associated injury, and any history of previous dislocation.<ref name="Wright_2024" />
