What to do if you have habitual dislocation

Dislocation is mainly caused by shoulder joint, and the joint slips out of the joint capsule. In daily life, joint dislocation is mainly caused by some trauma. As long as the shoulder joint recovers in time, it will not be a big deal. However, many joints will dislocate frequently after being dislocated once. A slight external force or excessive force will bring great harm and inconvenience to life and work.

In our daily life, the usual method of treating dislocation pain is to keep patients away from external sports such as volleyball and badminton. Some dislocations are caused by trauma and some are congenital, so the treatment of dislocations is also critical in daily life.

Recurrent or commonly known as habitual shoulder dislocation, is mainly divided into two categories: one is that the shoulder can be dislocated by oneself, and then put back to its normal position, that is, the patient can "perform" his shoulder joint freely in and out; the second is the most common, mainly due to trauma, that is, the sequelae of shoulder dislocation caused by external force.

The first type of patients with habitual shoulder dislocation have no history of obvious trauma, and may also have hyperextension and laxity in multiple joints of the body. For example, the thumb can be easily bent back and touch the forearm; the main reason for excessive extension of the elbow or knee joint is the instability of the joints caused by the congenital looseness of the body's tissues, and it is multi-directional. As for the second type, habitual dislocations caused by injuries are mostly due to obvious trauma, such as sports injuries, like throwing too hard, or encountering resistance during the throwing process, judo, wrestling and other physical contact sports; or unexpected actions such as falling with hands on the ground, or landing with shoulders on the ground, causing shoulder dislocation, almost all of which are anterior dislocations. After conservative treatment (joint reduction), dislocation or subluxation occurs again.

The above is an introduction and overview of habitual dislocation. Many joints will dislocate frequently after being dislocated once. The slightest external force or excessive force will cause great harm and inconvenience to life and work. After conservative treatment (joint reduction), dislocation or subluxation will occur again. Therefore, the treatment of dislocation in daily life is also critical.
