Shoulder dislocation is a common complication of upper limb trauma (arm pulled while in abduction or direct impact to shoulder) resulting with the humeral head sitting anteriorly out of the glenoid fossa. Technique is as follows: [2] Step 1 Sit patient up (without slouching, towel or pillow down spine) and place into analgesic position. ‘Hold ...
This is an extension of the external rotation technique. The externally rotated arm is gently abducted (brought away from the body into an overhead position) while external rotation is maintained. Gentle in-line traction is applied to the arm while some pressure is applied to the humeral head via the operator's thumb in the armpit to keep the ...

Anterior shoulder dislocation while carrying a frail elder. A dislocated shoulder is a condition in which the head of the humerus is detached from the glenoid fossa. [2] Symptoms include shoulder pain and instability. [2] Complications may include a Bankart lesion, Hill-Sachs lesion, rotator cuff tear, or injury to the axillary nerve. [1]
At the glenohumeral joint, movement of the humerus is performed by a combination of transverse abduction, by the posterior and lateral deltoids, [3] and external rotation, by the infraspinatus and teres minor. [4] At the scapulothoracic joint, the middle and lower fibers of the trapezius and the rhomboids contract to perform retraction of the ...

External rotation of the shoulder with the arm at a 90-degree angle is an additional exercise done to increase control and range of motion of the Infraspinatus and Teres minor muscles. Various active exercises are done for an additional 3–6 weeks as progress is based on an individual case-by-case basis. [ 9 ]
