Sports Injuries: Shoulder Dislocation
Dislocated Shoulders.
The shoulder joint is the most frequently dislocated joint of the body. The dislocation occurs when an impact causes an extreme rotation and the head of the humorous is forced out of the socket.
The shoulder can dislocate in any direction. The pain caused by this type of dislocation is intense. Swelling, numbness, and weakness soon follow. It is diagnosed with a physical exam by a doctor and x-rays to rule out a fracture.
Treatment
Doctors replace the ball of the humorous into the joint by a procedure called reduction. The arm is put in a sling or a shoulder immobilizer for several weeks. Physical therapy is started after pain and swelling have decreased to restore the range of motion to the shoulder and strengthen the muscles.
A dislocated shoulder can make an athlete more likely to have another injury, because ligaments may be stretched.
