Joint dislocation

Prepared by/Ahmed Fathi


joint
joint dislocation
dislocation

also called luxation,


occurs when there is an
abnormal separation in
the joint where two or
more bones meet
Dislocations are often caused by sudden trauma on the joint like an
impact or fall. A joint dislocation can cause damage to the
surrounding ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves
Dislocations can occur in any joint major (shoulder,
knees, etc.) or minor (toes, fingers, etc.). The most
common joint dislocation is a shoulder dislocation
Symptoms
Symptoms

The following symptoms are common with any type of


dislocation ;
(1)Intense pain
(2)Joint instability
(3)Deformity of the joint area
(4)Reduced muscle strength
(5)Bruising or redness of joint area
(6)Difficulty moving joint (Stiffness)
Causes

(1)Joint dislocations are caused by trauma to the joint


or when an individual falls on a specific joint
(2)Great and sudden force applied, by either a blow or
fall, to the joint can cause the bones in the joint to be
displaced or dislocated from normal position.
(3)With each dislocation, the ligaments keeping the
bones fixed in the correct position can be damaged or
loosened, making it easier for the joint to be dislocated
in the future.
(4)The loosened or stretched ligaments in the joint
provide little stability and allow for the joint to be
easily dislocated.
Treatment

(1)X-rays are usually taken to confirm a diagnosis and detect


any fractures which may also have occurred at the time of
dislocation.
(2)Shoulder injuries can also be surgically stabilized,
depending on the severity, using arthroscopic surgery.
(3)The most
common treatment method for a dislocation of the
Glenohumeral Joint (GH Joint/Shoulder Joint) is exercise
based management.
(4)Another method of treatment is to place the injured arm
in a sling or put abandage in order to keep the joint stable
