👉 Shoulder dislocations are most often anterior and can typically be reduced in the emergency room setting.  The key to reducing pretty much any dislocation is muscle relaxation combined with appropriate traction, although sometimes varying degrees of external or internal rotation and added pressure over the dislocated bone may also be required.

😷 First-time shoulder dislocations often can be treated with just physical therapy, but sometimes if there’s recurrent instability, surgical repair of the torn labrum may be required.
