Dislocated shoulder

A dislocated shoulder occurs when the upper arm bone (humerus) slips out of the shoulder socket (glenoid), often due to trauma or injury. This displacement can cause intense pain, instability, and limited movement. The shoulder may look deformed or out of place. Treatment typically involves pain management and a healthcare professional realigning the joint (reducing the dislocation). Afterward, rehabilitation may be needed to restore strength and prevent future dislocations. Dislocated shoulders are common in sports and accidents but require prompt medical attention to ensure proper healing and reduce the risk of complications.
