Dislocation
• Definition : Loss of congruity between the articular surfaces of a joint
• Therefore displacement usually complete
• The head of the humerus becomes completely separated from the glenoid fossa of the scapula
• May be complicated by fracture
![Page 3: Upper Limb Dislocations Keith Stafford Profession Teaching Fellow](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6f5503460f94a505d9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
History Shoulder dislocations
• May be recurrent, and if so may be trivial history
• Trauma, force/axial loading from falls and motor bike accidents (e.g. tackler in rugby)
• Seizures

Subluxation
• AKA partial dislocation
• Loss of contact of the articulating surfaces is notable but incomplete
• May proceed to complete dislocation

Presentation
• PAIN +++
• Arm guarded in the most comfortable position
• Often a kinking noted to the outer contour of the shoulder
![Page 6: Upper Limb Dislocations Keith Stafford Profession Teaching Fellow](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6f5503460f94a505d9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Examination
• Neurovascular examination,including axillary/circumflex nerve
• Wounds or other injuries
• Palpate the outer edge of the acromion

Inferior dislocation/luxio erecta
![Page 10: Upper Limb Dislocations Keith Stafford Profession Teaching Fellow](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6f5503460f94a505d9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Reduction
• Reduction is required and needs to be as soon as possible
• Reduction is often reported to be painful and traumatic. Consider analgesia/sedation
• Failure to reduce

Treatment/follow up
• Sling
• Analgesia
• Orthopaedic clinic
![Page 14: Upper Limb Dislocations Keith Stafford Profession Teaching Fellow](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6f5503460f94a505d9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Elbow dislocations
• Often results from fall onto the outstretched hand
• Often confused with supracondylar fracture
• As always assess for neurovascular compromise

Aftercare
• Post reduction radiographs
• Above elbow backslab
• Orthopaedic follow-up
