How long does it take for a shoulder dislocation to heal?

When the shoulder joint is dislocated, it should be repositioned in time and then strengthened for maintenance. If there is no fracture, it can be fixed with a bandage for 1 to 2 weeks, and then it can move freely. However, it should be noted that the range of free movement should not be too large. Pay attention to diet adjustment, take some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs, and take some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. To prevent frequent joint dislocations.

Nursing and health care methods for shoulder dislocation Among orthopedic emergency patients, shoulder dislocation is one of the most common orthopedic diseases, mostly occurring in young and middle-aged people, more often in males than in females. In addition to obvious history of trauma and pain and swelling in the affected area, the most important feature of joint dislocation is the loss of shoulder joint function. Sometimes it may be combined with damage to blood vessels and nerves, as well as unique physical signs of injured joints, such as square shoulder deformity. According to statistics of joint dislocation cases received by our department, shoulder dislocation is the most common dislocation in clinical practice, which may cause complications such as traumatic periarthritis of the shoulder or recurrence. After manual reduction, our hospital’s unique yellow water is applied externally and the area is fixed with an “8”-shaped bandage. After routine outpatient treatment and reduction, there is no need for hospitalization, and regular outpatient follow-up visits and dressing changes are required. During the rehabilitation period, nursing care should pay attention to the following points: 1. Proper fixation

To allow the damaged tissue sufficient time to repair, the shoulder joint should be kept in the adducted position for 2 to 3 weeks. During the fixation period, all factors that are not conducive to joint stability should be overcome; check the tightness of the bandage frequently, and pay attention to peripheral circulation. If bruising or severe swelling occurs on the affected limb, go to the hospital for treatment in time. During the immobilization period, patients are encouraged to actively perform functional exercises, such as biceps and triceps contraction and relaxation exercises, and move the elbow, wrist, and finger joints. It is advisable to promote blood circulation, eliminate swelling, and avoid muscle atrophy and joint stiffness. Abduction and external rotation activities are contraindicated. Apply appropriate amount of yellow water to the joints every day or every other day.

The abduction and external rotation activities of the shoulder joint should also be appropriately limited, such as splashing water on the face, reaching high to get objects, wiping the back with a towel, etc. For patients with habitual dislocation, the fixation period should be no less than 3 weeks. 3. Drug treatment

Give blood circulation, blood stasis removal, swelling and pain relief drugs, such as Panax notoginseng oral liquid, Qushang tablets, Xiaotuozhi, etc.

It is better to eat easily digestible, light and nutritious food, and avoid spicy food. Editor's reminder: Nursing and health care methods for shoulder dislocation.
