  A dislocated shoulder is an injury in which the upper arm bone pops out of the cup-shaped socket that’s part of the shoulder blade. […] If you suspect a dislocated shoulder, seek prompt medical attention. Most people regain full use of their shoulder within a few weeks. However, once a shoulder dislocates, the joint might be prone to repeat dislocations. […] Get medical help right away for a shoulder that appears dislocated. […] While waiting for medical attention: Don’t move the joint. Splint or sling the shoulder joint in the position it’s in. Don’t try to move the shoulder or force it back into place. This can damage the shoulder joint and its surrounding muscles, ligaments, nerves or blood vessels. […] Ice the injured joint. Apply ice to the shoulder to help reduce pain and swelling.

  Shoulder dislocations represent 50 percent of all major joint dislocations, with anterior dislocation being most common. The shoulder is an unstable joint due to a shallow glenoid that only articulates with a small part of the humeral head. The shoulder joint is the most regularly dislocated joint in the body. […] This activity describes the pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of shoulder dislocations and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the care of affected patients. […] Shoulder dislocations are best managed by an interprofessional team that also includes therapists and orthopedic nurses. When evaluating patients with shoulder dislocations, clinicians need to be aware of the potential of associated neurovascular injury. Carefully examine the patient for neurovascular compromise. Axillary nerve injury is the most common. The axillary nerve innervates deltoid and teres minor and provides sensation to lateral shoulder. Axillary nerve compromise presents in over 40% of dislocations, but usually, resolves with reduction. […] Conservative treatment does yield good outcomes but recurrences are known to occur in about 1-5% of patients.

  The shoulder is an amazingly mobile joint, allowing you to reach and rotate in a number of directions. […] However a shoulder becomes dislocated, it needs to be treated immediately. […] You should seek prompt attention for your injury. While you’re waiting for treatment: Don’t move the joint or try to put it back in place. Use a sling or splint to hold it in its current position. Ice the joint to reduce pain and swelling. […] Typically, you’ll undergo X-rays and possibly an MRI to assess the damage. The results will help the health care professional determine the appropriate treatment, which can include: Putting the joint back in the correct position. This can be done with a simple maneuver, but if the joint is badly damaged, it may require surgery. Placing the shoulder in a sling to allow the muscles to rest. Icing and anti-inflammatory medications will relieve pain and swelling. Physical therapy will be prescribed to help you regain range of motion and strength — or prepare the shoulder for surgery. Performing surgery. Arthroscopic surgery, which involves making small incisions to allow the surgeon to repair the damage, is the most common. Typically, this is an outpatient procedure, and you’ll go home the same day. Surgery also will be followed by icing, anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy.

• #4 Dislocated Shoulder

  https://medlineplus.gov/dislocatedshoulder.html

  Your shoulder joint is made up of three bones: your collarbone, your shoulder blade, and your upper arm bone. A shoulder dislocation is an injury that happens when the ball pops out of your socket. A dislocation may be partial, where the ball is only partially out of the socket. It can also be a full dislocation, where the ball is completely out of the socket. […] The treatment for dislocated shoulder usually involves three steps: The first step is a closed reduction, a procedure in which your health care provider puts the ball of your upper arm back into the socket. You may first get medicine to relieve the pain and relax your shoulder muscles. Once the joint is back in place, the severe pain should end. The second step is wearing a sling or other device to keep your shoulder in place. You will wear it for a few days to several weeks. The third step is rehabilitation, once the pain and swelling have improved. You will do exercises to improve your range of motion and strengthen your muscles.

  Unless you have chronic shoulder instability, it takes a great deal of force to dislocate your shoulder, but its far from impossible. […] The pain is hard to miss whether or not you hear a pop. It starts at the shoulder, can travel down the entire arm, and is incredibly intense, especially when moving the joint. […] You may be able to see the bone thats moved out of the joint, or your shoulder could look sunken where the bone should be. […] Many people with dislocated shoulders also experience nerve damage, which causes tingling and numbness that can reach the fingers.

[…] It’s essential to receive medical attention immediately for a shoulder dislocation. Immobilize and ice the joint on the way to urgent care or the ER to prevent further injury and manage your pain. […] Shoulder dislocations cause nearly unbearable pain, so your doctor will conduct a closed reduction immediately. Your doctor can provide medication to manage the pain before the procedure and then will put the bone back into the shoulder socket. This is a non-surgical procedure and takes around a half hour to complete. The pain subsides once the bone is back in place unless you also have other damage.

  In the acute phase of a dislocated shoulder, therapy should be limited. The arm should be immobilized in a sling and swathed for 1-3 weeks. The actual position of the arm in the sling has been debated and thought to be more beneficial to the torn soft tissues with the arm in external rotation. […] While the patient is in the sling, elbow, wrist, and hand range of motion should be encouraged. Working with the parascapular muscles is also important during this acute phase of rehabilitation since this can be initiated while the patient is still in the sling. […] Active and passive flexion, extension, abduction, and internal/external rotation begin at about the third week, when the patient comes out of the sling. […] It is important to educate the patient and inform him or her that getting all of the motion back „right away” can be detrimental to the stability of their shoulder.

  It is a good idea for your child to undertake regular exercises of the elbow, wrist and fingers on the injured arm to stop them from becoming stiff. Your child’s arm may come out of the sling for these exercises, but their elbow should remain tucked against their side. […] Due to the risk of recurrent injury or ongoing shoulder instability, a follow-up appointment for this type of injury is very important. […] An orthopaedic surgeon, sports medicine physician or physiotherapist should review the shoulder and the post-relocation x-rays to check to see if the cup part of the shoulder blade has been injured, as this increases the chance of the ball part of the shoulder slipping out again in the future. […] Physiotherapy should commence one to two weeks after injury to build up strength in the muscles responsible for shoulder stability.
