Comment NEWSLETTER 📩🗞️ and I’ll send you a link to my free weekly newsletter with similar medical information 🩺 and non-cringey medical humor 😄 💥 Shoulder dislocations are most often anterior and can typically be reduced in the emergency room 🏥. 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 can often be treated with physical therapy 🏋️‍♂️, but if there’s recurrent instability 🔁, surgical repair of the torn labrum 🔧 may be required. 🎥 Original video credit: joey.gentile #shoulder #shoulderdislocation #orthopedicsurgery
