The most successful outcome of shoulder dislocation treatment is a recurrence-free dislocation, a pain-free shoulder, and a return of shoulder function to pre-injury levels. This is the goal of every shoulder surgeon. Here is a brief description of the rational treatment of shoulder dislocation. 1.Fixation position for conservative treatment: After shoulder dislocation manipulation, classical textbooks recommend fixing the shoulder joint in the internal rotation-adduction position and avoiding external rotation-adduction; an MRI study found that the glenoid labrum was best aligned with the glenoid below the 35° position of external rotation of the shoulder; a cadaveric study found that the glenoid labrum was aligned with the glenoid at 30° of internal rotation to 30° of external rotation with mild abduction of the shoulder joint. Some clinical studies have demonstrated that external rotation can reduce the recurrence rate, and some suggest that internal or external rotation of the shoulder joint fixation has no effect on the prevention of shoulder dislocation recurrence. 2. Duration of fixation for conservative treatment: Most doctors recommend fixation of the shoulder joint for 3-4 weeks or even 6 weeks for patients under 30 years of age – because young people are prone to recurrence of shoulder dislocation; 7-10 days for patients over 40 years of age – because older people are prone to stiffness and limitation of movement during shoulder dislocation treatment. 3.The content of functional rehabilitation exercises in conservative treatment: pendulum movement, mobility training, strength exercises of rotator cuff and scapular band muscles which are often neglected by domestic doctors (a plan should be made with the type of shoulder dislocation) and proprioceptive training. 4. Surgical treatment of shoulder dislocation: More and more doctors are recommending shoulder arthroscopy for young people with their first shoulder dislocation to prevent recurrence of the dislocation and to obtain satisfactory functional rehabilitation of the dislocation or habitual shoulder dislocation, which causes more damage to the structure and stability of the shoulder joint with each dislocation. Shoulder arthroscopy or incision should be performed to repair the Bankart injury. Shoulder arthroplasty is required if the shoulder has been dislocated for more than 6 months.
