How to reset shoulder dislocation

summary

When the human shoulder is impacted or pulled, it is likely to lead to shoulder dislocation. In order to recover the function of the affected shoulder as soon as possible, patients need to go to a professional orthopedic hospital as soon as possible, and must cooperate with professional and scientific rehabilitation nursing after treatment. How to reset shoulder dislocation? Let me talk about it.

How to reset shoulder dislocation

First, when the elbow of the injured limb is close to the chest wall, the hand of the affected side can not reach the opposite shoulder, which means the shoulder test is positive. The dislocation of the humeral head can be felt in front of the shoulder joint. X-ray film can show the dislocation and fracture of the shoulder joint. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, all fresh shoulder dislocation should be reset immediately without delay, otherwise the medial bundle of axillary nerve or brachial plexus may be pulled or compressed by fat head.

Second: in addition, in elderly patients with arteriosclerosis, the brachial head may bruise the axillary artery during dislocation, resulting in upper limb ischemia. If it is not reset in time, it can lead to limb disability and necrosis. When the dislocation was reduced, the deformity of the affected shoulder disappeared, and the appearance was similar to that of the contralateral side. The dislocation of the humeral head could not be found in the armpit or under the clavicle, and the shoulder overlapping test became negative. The X-ray film showed that the dislocation had been reduced.

Third: the shoulder joint after reduction generally needs to be suspended in front of the chest with neck wrist sling for 2-3 weeks, so as to avoid habitual dislocation in the future. During the fixation period, the upper arm should not be abducted or rotated. After the fixation is removed, functional exercise should be performed to prevent adhesion around the shoulder joint.

matters needing attention

When the shoulder is pulled or collided, the dislocation of shoulder joint can occur. After dislocation, the affected shoulder can be immediately swollen and painful, and dare not move. At this time, in order to reduce the pain of patients and make the limb function recover as soon as possible, it is necessary to carry out professional diagnosis and treatment.
