What to do if your shoulder falls off

When a patient’s shoulder falls off, a dislocation of the shoulder joint has actually occurred. After the orthopedic surgeon has made a clear diagnosis, the patient should be repositioned in time under anesthesia. After successful repositioning, the shoulder should be fixed with a brace or cast to limit the movement of the shoulder to prevent secondary dislocation. In addition, external application of Wan Tong Tendon paste, blood circulation and pain relief cream or golden ointment should be applied to the shoulder to reduce the swelling of the patient and to relieve the pain. To speed up the recovery of the joint capsule, ligaments, muscles and other tissues, you can also take oral medications such as bruise pills, fracture and contusion pills and Yunnan Baiyao. If the patient develops a habitual dislocation of the shoulder joint, surgical treatment can also be considered for the treatment. An incision and repositioning should be done to tighten the joint capsule and ligaments to strengthen the joint stability, which can also prevent the habitual dislocation of the shoulder joint.
