Often people injure the shoulder joint. Dislocation of this part of the skeleton is found in fifty percent of cases of treatment. These injuries are divided into various types. Dislocation can be congenital. Often it is traumatic or primary. There are habitual dislocations. They develop after traumatic. The shoulder joint dislocation may be chronic. This type of pathology occurs due to damage to muscles, tendons, ligament capsule apparatus, as well as due to the development of various ailments (tuberculosis, arthropathy, osteodystrophy, etc.).
In the case when the
shoulder joint dislocation received a traumatic primary, the facts of irreparable pathologies can be classified. They are not eliminated even under general anesthesia. The cause of such cases may be the interposition of soft tissues or tendons, cartilage, etc. If, with a traumatic dislocation, the diagnosis was made three weeks after it was received, then such a pathology is considered chronic. Complicated cases are also classified. They are accompanied by a combination of dislocation of the shoulder with other injuries.
The occurrence of pathology can occur in connection with the strike. Often a dislocation of the right shoulder joint is detected after falling on a straightened arm. In the event of such an injury, one should not eliminate the arising pathology directly at the scene of the incident. Correct dislocation only after anesthesia. There are many different methods that allow you to restore the shoulder joint.
Dislocation is eliminated by the methods of Hippocrates-Cooper, Kocher, Chaklin, Janelidze, as well as Mukhin-Mot. At the next stage, control radiography is performed. The limb is fixed with a plaster cast. It is imposed for a period of two to six weeks.
Treatment of dislocation of the shoulder joint in an irreparable case is carried out only by surgery. If surgical intervention is not possible for various contraindications, then the injury passes into the category of chronic. In this case, all therapeutic measures are aimed at developing adaptive skills in the patient. If pain symptoms are disturbing, then novocaine blockades or analgesics are used.
Older dislocations try to correct when the patient is under anesthesia. If this fails, then resort to surgery. At the next stages, massage, exercise therapy and physiotherapy are prescribed.
Treatment of dislocation, classified as traumatic, aims to eliminate pathology in the shortest possible time. After that, the adjusted ends of the bones require retention in the correct position (this is done by fixing them). The following procedures are aimed at restoring the lost functions of the damaged joint. The success of all the actions taken directly depends on full anesthesia and muscle relaxation of the damaged arm.
Habitual dislocation of the shoulder joint can be obtained by performing normal movements. Injury often occurs when combing, washing or carrying heavy objects. For the first time, such a pathology develops within six months after receiving the primary dislocation. Similar injuries can recur up to ten times a year. To exclude such cases, the method of reduction of the primary dislocation should be chosen correctly. An important factor is the correct fixation of the limb, timely surgical treatment and a full rehabilitation period.
