How long before you can have a second surgery for shoulder clavicle dislocation

After a shoulder clavicle dislocation you should wait to recover from the first surgery before having a second surgery, usually after 3 months. Patients with a dislocated clavicle usually need 3 months to fully recover from surgery. Usually, patients with shoulder clavicle dislocation need to suspend and protect the affected limb for about one and a half months after the operation, and after one and a half months, they can carry out appropriate functional exercises such as shoulder lifting, shoulder shrugging, scapula adduction and abduction exercises, etc., so as to enable the patients to restore the normal degree of joint mobility. At the same time, the patient should also eat protein-rich foods such as eggs and milk, which can better promote the patient’s recovery. Overall, patients with acromioclavicular dislocation need 3 months to recover. Therefore, secondary surgery should only be performed after the primary surgery has fully recovered, otherwise it will cause secondary damage to the acromioclavicular region, resulting in difficulty in healing after the secondary surgery.
