CME on Shoulder Dislocation PRESENTED BY Dr Ankit Mandal Medical officer Bardibas Hospital
Subluxation and Dislocation Subluxation- When two joint surfaces are partially separated Dislocation- When two joint surfaces are completely separated and no contact between the surfaces
Dislocation is one of the orthopaedics emergency It should be reduced as soon as possible. If not reduced promptly, pathological changes occur, especially around the hip.
Dislocation may be associated with damage to articular cartilage, joint capsule, ligaments, and vascularity of the bones These can lead to posttraumatic arthritis
Commonest joint to dislocate because of Shallowness of glenoid cavity Extraordinary ROM Joint laxity Types of shoulder dislocation Anterior Posterior inferior
Anterior dislocation Mechanism of Injury :-Fall on hand Clinical Features: - Externally rotated arm supported by the opposite hand - Pain/swelling -Inability to touch opposite shoulder (Duga`s test)) -Flattening of deltoid contour -Head of Humerus felt below the clavicle -DNVS: Axillary, Radial nerves, Brachial plexus injury
Other tests : - Hamilton ruler test -Callaway`s test
X-ray: AP Lateral: Axillary lateral/Scapular Y view
In recurrent dislocation or delayed presentation Hill sach`s lesion : depression in posterosuperior part of humeral head Bankart Lesion Anterior tear in glenoiod labrum
Treatment: Acute:- traction and closed Reduction Old :- ‘supervised neglect’ – Open reduction Complications: Unreduced dislocation Recurrent dislocation / Instability
Kocher’s manoeuvre Most commonly performed T-Traction E- External rotation A-Adduction M-Medial Rotation
Post Reduction To check DNVS/stability after reduction Xray confirmation of reduction Immobilization for 3 weeks (in patients < 30 yrs ) 1 week (in patients > 30 yrs ) Rehabilitation
Indication of surgery If conservative treatment failed Unreduced dislocation of shoulder Fracture dislocation Neglected dislocation Common name of the surgery: Putti- platt operation Bankart's operation Bristow's operation
Posterior dislocation Rare Mechanism: marked internal rotation and adduction of shoulder- during convulsion, electric shock. Fall on the flexed, adducted arm with a direct blow to the front of the shoulder Fall on outstretched arm
Clinical Features: Arm held in internal rotation and locked Front of shoulder flat and coracoid flat X-ray : AP- classic ‘electric light-bulb’ appearance - the ‘empty (or Vacuum) glenoid’ sign Lateral/Axillary view required
Inferior dislocation - Luxatio Erecta -Rare Mechanism : severe hyperabduction force Severe soft tissue injury: avulsion of capsule and surrounding tendons, rupture of muscles, glenoid or proximal humerus fracture, brachial plexus and axillary artery injury.
Clinical Features: Arm fully abducted, head of humerus in or below axilla DNVS X-ray Treatment: Pulling upward in line of abducted arm Open reduction if failed closed attempt Assesment of DNVS
