Shoulder Dislocation in Hyderabad: Expert Care at Lux Hospitals
The painful and upsetting disease known as shoulder dislocation can have a major impact on day-to-day activities, particularly arm movement. Timely treatment is crucial to preventing long-term consequences, regardless of the cause—a fall, an injury, or repetitive strain. For advanced care for a shoulder dislocation in Hyderabad, trust the expert orthopedic team at Lux Hospitals, Gachibowli. We provide accurate diagnosis, advanced imaging, and minimally invasive shoulder dislocation treatment for a quicker and smoother recovery.
What is Shoulder Dislocation?
When the humerus, the upper arm bone, pops out of the glenoid shoulder socket, it causes a shoulder dislocation. The shoulder joint is the most mobile in the body, which makes it more prone to dislocation than other joints.
- Anterior Shoulder Dislocation (most common)
- Posterior Shoulder Dislocation
- Inferior Shoulder Dislocation
Each type may present differently and needs specific management and rehabilitation.
Causes of Shoulder Dislocation
The causes of shoulder dislocation include:
- Sports-related injuries, particularly in contact sports like hockey and football
- Falls on an outstretched arm or shoulder
- Accidents or trauma
- Sudden pulling or lifting of the arm
- Repetitive overhead movement causes instability over time.
Some individuals may also have naturally loose ligaments, which increases their risk of recurring shoulder dislocation.
Symptoms of Shoulder Dislocation
Common dislocated shoulder symptoms include:
- Sudden, intense pain in the shoulder after a fall or injury
- Visible deformity or out-of-place shoulder
- Swelling or bruising
- Inability to move the arm
- A tingling or numb feeling in the hand or arm
- Muscle spasms in the shoulder
If you suspect a shoulder joint dislocation, seek immediate medical attention to prevent damage to nerves and blood vessels.
Diagnosis of Shoulder Dislocation
At Lux Hospitals, shoulder dislocation in Hyderabad is diagnosed through a combination of:
- Physical Examination to assess deformity and range of motion
- X-rays to confirm the type and direction of dislocation
- MRI or CT Scans to check for associated injuries such as ligament tears or fractures
Prompt and accurate diagnosis helps guide the most effective treatment plan.
Preparation Before Treatment of Shoulder Dislocation
Before undergoing shoulder dislocation treatment, our specialists at Lux Hospitals will:
- Assess your medical history and previous shoulder injuries
- Discuss any underlying joint conditions or ligament laxity.
- Conduct a thorough clinical and imaging evaluation.
- We will guide you on the do’s and don’ts before surgery (if needed), such as fasting, stopping certain medications, and arranging post-procedure care.
Treatment Options for Shoulder Dislocation
Our approach to shoulder dislocation treatment depends on the severity and type of dislocation:
Closed Reduction (Non-Surgical)
For most first-time dislocations, the shoulder can be manually repositioned back into place (reduction) under local anesthesia or sedation for pain relief.
Medications and Immobilization
Pain relief medications, followed by the use of a sling or shoulder immobilizer for a few weeks.
Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation
Physiotherapy is essential to restoring strength, range of motion, and preventing further dislocations when pain has subsided.
Shoulder Dislocation Surgery
- Repeated dislocations
- Severe ligament or labrum tears
- Fractures associated with dislocation
- Posterior shoulder dislocation
- Athletes or individuals with high physical demands
We offer arthroscopic shoulder dislocation surgery using minimally invasive techniques to ensure faster recovery and less postoperative pain.
Dislocated Shoulder Recovery Time
Dislocated shoulder recovery time varies based on the severity of the injury and the treatment provided.
- Non-surgical treatment: 2 to 4 weeks for minor dislocations
- Post-surgical recovery: 6 to 12 weeks with rehabilitation
A full return to sports or heavy activity may take longer. Following physiotherapy and avoiding high-risk movements is key to long-term joint health.
