Shoulder Dislocation

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.

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

Symptoms:

• Visible deformity of the shoulder
• Severe pain
• Inability to move the arm
• Numbness or tingling in the arm
• Feeling of instability
