🚨 Shoulder Dislocation: What You Need to Know 🚨
A shoulder dislocation happens when the head of the humerus slips out of its socket — either completely or partially (subluxation). It can occur from falls, sports collisions, or forceful arm motions.
Signs to watch for:
• Severe pain
• Swelling & bruising
• Visible deformity
• Weakness & limited movement
Treatment typically starts with a closed reduction to reposition the joint, followed by immobilization and physical therapy. In severe or recurrent cases, surgical repair may be necessary.
