There is a very large discrepancy when it comes to the management of the first time anterior shoulder instability (FTASD) among orthopedists all over the world. In Poland, we also observe discrepancies in management after FTASD, hence an attempt was made to introduce recommendations and standardize the procedures. Guidelines of management after FTASD in European countries have been introduced so far in the UK and Netherlands, which resulted in a change of behavior. The authors of the recommendations were committed to expanding the knowledge about FTASD and implementing in Poland the most effective model of management. The aim of this study is to present and discuss the results of a survey conducted among members of the Polish Shoulder and Elbow Society (PSES) on diagnostics, conservative and surgical treatment in the case of FTASD. The results of this survey, together with the results of the conducted DELPHI study, will be used to issue a recommendation of the PSES for management of FTASD
