Shoulder dislocation occurs when the upper arm bone (humerus) comes out of its socket. The shoulder is the most flexible joint in the body, which also makes it more prone to dislocation. This condition can be extremely painful and may limit arm movement.
At Medisure Surgery Care, we provide expert diagnosis and advanced treatment for shoulder dislocation to restore stability, strength, and normal shoulder function.
What Is Shoulder Dislocation?
A shoulder dislocation happens when the ball of the upper arm slips out of the shoulder socket. It can be:
- Partial (Subluxation) – bone partially out of the socket
- Complete Dislocation – bone fully out of the socket
If not treated properly, it may lead to recurrent dislocations and long-term instability.
Common Causes of Shoulder Dislocation
- Sports injuries (cricket, football, wrestling)
- Road traffic accidents
- Falls on an outstretched arm
- Sudden forceful movement
- Weak shoulder muscles or ligaments
Symptoms of Shoulder Dislocation
- Severe shoulder pain
- Visible deformity of the shoulder
- Swelling and bruising
- Inability to move the arm
- Numbness or tingling in arm or fingers
How Is Shoulder Dislocation Diagnosed?
Diagnosis includes:
- Physical examination
- X-rays to confirm dislocation
- MRI scan to check ligament, tendon, or muscle damage
Early diagnosis helps prevent repeat dislocations.
Treatment Options for Shoulder Dislocation
Non-Surgical Treatment
- Manual repositioning of the shoulder (reduction)
