What is a Dislocated Shoulder?
Almost all types of sports have its own common injury, however when it comes to a dislocated shoulder, any type of sports can contribute to the dislocation in this part of the shoulder. This type of injury is usually caused by any type of accident during the activity of the game or practice which causes the head of the humerus to be forced forwards and out of place. This type of injury is called an anterior dislocation which is the most common form of a dislocated shoulder.
Other forms of a dislocated shoulder are posterior, inferior, superior, and intra thoracic which are far less popular and are very rare as compared to anterior which makes up 95% of all shoulder injuries related to dislocation. A dislocated shoulder requires immediate medical attention and action in order to avoid bigger problems in the long run. If left out without proper medical care, it is among the types of injuries that have a higher chance of reoccurrence due to its instability. The right rehabilitation programs should be prescribed among patients with this type of problem in order to restore the function and condition of their damaged shoulders.
When it comes to the symptoms of a dislocated shoulder, the injury is actually serious and can be easily determined due to the difficulty, pain, and discomfort that you will feel. This can be assessed visually through observation and can be felt using the palm of the hands. An obvious “popping out” shoulder can be seen by any person especially when comparing it on the other shoulder. You can also feel a bulging shape at the affected shoulder. You can also notice that the arm is usually rested near the body in order to avoid causing pain and discomfort to the shoulder. In most cases, the damage on the shoulder(s) is severe and should be immediately dealt with the proper, professional medical care.
There are numerous different types of treatment methods when it comes to healing and restoring the function of a popped-out shoulder. These usually depend on the condition and severity of the damages on the shoulder. In general, the affected shoulder is usually x-rayed first prior to any treatment method in order to assess and diagnose the actual problem. This also helps the doctor or any trained medical professional to be able to reduce (relocate or put back in) the dislocated shoulder in place without compromising the shoulders due to bone fractures. Do not attempt to reposition your shoulder by yourself as you can always cause more damage than good. Any idea or action that you may want to have in your rehabilitation program should always be consulted first with your doctor.
On cases where muscles, nerves, tendons, blood vessels and other important parts of the human body aside from the bones are damaged, the best thing to do is to get a surgery. This type of treatment helps a lot in bringing back the condition of the dislocated shoulder and prevents further problems due to the damages on the other systems of the human body. Ask your doctor or physician regarding which type of surgery would best fit you.
