What is a Shoulder Dislocation?

The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint that allows wide movement of the arm. Because of this mobility, it is also more prone to dislocation than other joints. A shoulder dislocation happens when the head of the humerus slips out of the shoulder socket, either partially (subluxation) or completely (dislocation). Prompt medical attention is necessary to prevent long-term damage to ligaments, tendons, or nerves around the shoulder.

Traumatic causes:

Direct fall on the outstretched arm
Contact sports such as football, basketball, or wrestling
Road traffic accidents

Recurrent or chronic causes:

Loosened shoulder ligaments from previous dislocations
Congenital joint laxity or hypermobility
Weak shoulder muscles or rotator cuff injuries

Young athletes and individuals involved in physical activities are at higher risk of recurrent shoulder dislocation.

Patients with a dislocated shoulder may experience:

Sudden, intense shoulder pain after a fall or trauma
Visible deformity or bulge around the joint
Inability to move the arm normally
Swelling or bruising near the shoulder

Numbness or tingling sensation in the arm or hand

Diagnosis of Shoulder Dislocation

At Pristyn Care Elantis, a detailed clinical evaluation is performed by orthopedic specialists to confirm the type and severity of the dislocation. Diagnostic tests may include:

Physical examination: Checking alignment, swelling, and range of motion.
X-rays: To identify dislocation direction (anterior, posterior, or inferior) and rule out fractures.
MRI or CT scan: To assess soft tissue injuries, labral tears, or cartilage damage around the joint.

Treatment Options for Shoulder Dislocation

Treatment depends on the type of dislocation, patient’s age, activity level, and recurrence history. The primary goal is to reposition the joint, relieve pain, and restore shoulder stability.

1. Non-Surgical Treatment

Closed Reduction: The dislocated bone is gently manipulated back into its socket under anesthesia or sedation.
Immobilization: After reduction, the arm is placed in a sling for 2–4 weeks to allow healing.
Physiotherapy: Gradual exercises are started to strengthen shoulder muscles and prevent stiffness.
Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs and pain relievers are prescribed for comfort during recovery.

2. Surgical Treatment

Surgery may be required in cases of:

Recurrent dislocation
Fracture associated with dislocation
Ligament or labral tear (Bankart lesion)

Arthroscopic Shoulder Stabilization is the preferred technique, performed through small incisions using a camera and instruments. The torn ligaments and capsule are repaired to restore shoulder stability. In some cases, open surgery may be recommended for complex or chronic dislocations.

Advantages of Arthroscopic Surgery:

Small incisions and minimal scarring
Early rehabilitation and faster recovery
Reduced risk of recurrence

Short hospital stay (often discharged the same day)

Procedure for Piles Laser Surgery

Laser piles surgery is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure performed under anesthesia. A focused laser beam is used to shrink or remove the swollen hemorrhoidal tissue. The laser seals off blood vessels, which reduces bleeding, pain, and the risk of infection.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the injury and treatment method.

Sling support is usually required for 2–4 weeks.
Physiotherapy begins after immobilization to restore motion and strength.
Most patients regain full shoulder function within 6–10 weeks.
Return to contact sports or heavy physical activity may take 3–4 months.

Following a structured rehabilitation plan is crucial to prevent recurrence.
