What tests are required after repositioning a dislocated shoulder?

Shoulder radiographs as well as a CT scan are required after successful shoulder dislocation. Shoulder radiographs are needed after successful shoulder dislocation to confirm successful shoulder dislocation and to rule out the possibility of fracture during the dislocation process. A CT scan of the shoulder should be performed after successful repositioning of the shoulder to rule out the possibility of a shoulder fracture and also to rule out a Bankart injury, which is an avulsion injury of the glenohumeral ligament complex at the anterior and inferior aspect of the glenoid labrum of the shoulder joint.Bankart injuries are one of the major causes of habitual dislocations of the shoulder joint. If an injury is ever present, surgical repair is recommended. In case of shoulder dislocation, patients are advised to visit a hospital for medical examination and regular treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
