Shoulder Dislocation

Expert Treatment for Shoulder Instability

Shoulder Dislocation Treatment

Dr. Pramod Bhor provides expert treatment for shoulder dislocation, a condition where the upper arm bone (humerus) pops out of the shoulder socket. Recurrent dislocations can lead to chronic instability and require surgical intervention.

Shoulder dislocation is one of the most common joint dislocations, occurring when the ball (head of humerus) comes out of the socket (glenoid). This can happen due to trauma, sports injuries, or repetitive overhead activities.

Shoulder Stability Overview

Expert explanation of why shoulder dislocations occur and how they are managed.

Types of Shoulder Dislocation:

Anterior Dislocation: Most common type, where the humerus moves forward
Posterior Dislocation: Less common, where the humerus moves backward
Inferior Dislocation: Rare type where the humerus moves downward

Causes of Shoulder Dislocation:

Traumatic injuries or falls
Sports activities with overhead motions
Direct blow to the shoulder
Forceful twisting or rotation
Genetic predisposition to loose ligaments

Injury Dynamics

A closer look at the mechanisms that lead to shoulder instability.

Symptoms:

Visible deformity of the shoulder

Inability to move the arm
Numbness or tingling in the arm
Feeling of instability

Recovery Pathways

Essential steps for regaining strength and preventing future dislocations.
