Shoulder Dislocation Treatment in Nagpur — Dr. Siddharth Jain, Nagpur

 A shoulder dislocation is one of the most common orthopedic emergencies, often caused by accidents, sports injuries, or sudden impacts. The condition occurs when the upper arm bone (humerus) slips out of the shoulder socket (glenoid), leading to severe pain, swelling, and restricted movement.

At Nagpur Arthroscopy & Sports Injury Centre, Dr. Siddharth Jain, an experienced orthopedic surgeon and sports injury specialist, offers advanced and safe treatments for all types of shoulder dislocations, ensuring fast recovery and prevention of future injuries.

Understanding Shoulder Dislocation

The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the body, allowing a wide range of motion. This flexibility, however, comes with a downside — it is more prone to dislocation than other joints.

There are two main types:

• Anterior Dislocation — The head of the humerus moves forward out of the socket (most common).
• Posterior Dislocation — The humeral head moves backward (less common, usually after seizures or electric shocks).

Symptoms of Shoulder Dislocation

If you suspect a shoulder dislocation, look for these signs:

• Severe shoulder pain immediately after injury
• Visible deformity or bulge in the front or back of the shoulder
• Swelling and bruising in the shoulder area
• Limited or no movement in the arm
• Weakness, tingling, or numbness in the arm or hand

Causes and Risk Factors

A dislocated shoulder can happen to anyone, but certain factors increase the risk:

• Sports injuries (rugby, cricket, volleyball, basketball, wrestling)
• Road traffic accidents
• Falls from height or sudden jerks while lifting heavy objects
• Repetitive shoulder strain in athletes
• Previous dislocation history

Why Immediate Treatment Matters

If left untreated, a dislocated shoulder can cause:

• Permanent nerve damage
• Recurrent dislocations due to stretched ligaments
• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
• Chronic pain and weakness

Quick medical attention ensures proper repositioning and minimizes complications.

Treatment Options by Dr. Siddharth Jain

1. Accurate Diagnosis

• Physical examination
• X-rays and MRI scans to check for bone fractures or ligament damage

2. Closed Reduction Technique

A safe, non-surgical method where the humerus is gently guided back into place. Pain relief and muscle relaxants are given before the procedure.

3. Immobilization

After reduction, a sling or shoulder immobilizer is used to keep the joint stable for healing.

4. Medication

Painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce discomfort and swelling.

5. Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation

Tailored exercise programs to restore strength, flexibility, and prevent re-injury.

6. Arthroscopic Surgery (If Needed)

Minimally invasive procedure to repair torn ligaments or cartilage, especially in recurrent dislocations.

Recovery Timeline

• 1–2 Weeks — Pain and swelling reduce with rest and medication.
• 3–6 Weeks — Gradual mobility improvement through physiotherapy.
• 6–12 Weeks — Strength training to prevent future dislocations.
