Shoulder Dislocations

Shoulder dislocation occurs when the upper arm bone pops out of the socket in the shoulder blade. This often results from an injury or fall, causing pain, swelling, and limited movement. There are two types: anterior (most common, where the arm is pushed forward) and posterior (where the arm is pushed backward). Treatment typically involves repositioning the bone, pain management, and sometimes rehabilitation exercises to restore function. While most people recover well, repeated dislocations may occur, requiring further medical evaluation or surgery. Emergency care is essential to ensure proper treatment and prevent complications.
