He said this happens because the rotator cuff tissue becomes weaker and more brittle with aging and tears more easily.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertkreisman.com\/medical-malpractice-lawyer\/shoulder_dislocation_in_older_patients_less_likely_to_be_diagnosed_treated\/#more-524\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study shows that shoulder dislocation in older patients is more likely to be overlooked or misdiagnosed than among younger patients.
