Abstrakt:	Introduction Few studies have highlighted the correlation between shoulder dislocation and keratoconus (KC). This study aimed to examine the association between KC and shoulder dislocation using patients with KC and matched controls. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted at Jordan University Hospital. We included patients diagnosed with KC from Jordan University Hospital's Ophthalmology Department between 2015 and 2018. We also included age- and sex-matched controls recruited randomly from fitness centers and shopping malls. All participants had complete ophthalmic and orthopedic assessments. KC was diagnosed by clinical examination followed by Pentacam (Scheimpflug Images, Oculyzer, WaveLight, Alcon, USA) confirmation. Results A total of 238 patients, with a mean age of 29.53 (±11.20) years, were included in this study. They were 144 (60.5%) men and 94 (39.5%) women. Moreover, 120 (50.4%) had KC while 118 (49.6%) did not have KC. Only 11 (4.6%) patients had previous shoulder dislocation. We did not find a significant difference in the frequency of shoulder dislocation between patients with and without KC (p = 0.512). Conclusion This study provides further evidence on the lack of association between shoulder dislocation and KC, an association that was presumed due to shared collagen characteristics.
