3. Introduction
• Dislocations are othopaedic emergencies
• Shoulder dislocation comprises of up to half of all joint dislocations
• Most mobile and most commonly dislocated joint of body
• Incidence: Male:21-30yrs Female:61-80yrs
9. Function of shoulder
Movement stability
Ball and socket
joint
Voluminous glenohumeral
joint
Ligaments at extremes
of motions
muscles
Unstable joint
21. Anterior dislocation x rays
Disruption of Maleney line
Curve line is made when line is
drawn form medial cortex of
humerus and lateral border of
scapula
22. Posterior dislocation x-rays
AP chest
Steeple sign
AP glenoid(empty glenoid
fossa)
scapular Y view
Less contact of humeral head
with glenoid
24. Kocher method
Elbow flexion at 900
External rotation(70-900)
Lifting and adduction across chest
Internal rotation
25. Hippocratic method
• Patient is placed supine
• Stockinged heel is placed in the
axilla
• Wrist is grasped in both hand
and gentle traction and external
rotation is given
• Heel acts as fulcrum while
adduction arm
27. Stimson method
• Position prone on elevated bed
• Affected arm hang off the bed
edge
• Arm is placed 900 forward
flexion
• 5 lb wt is fastened to the
affected wrist
• Wait for 15-20 min
28. Milch method
• Position: supine
• Surgeon’s one hand place on axilla
over humeral head
• Patient wrist is grasped firmly with
other hand or assistant
• Arm is slowly and gradually
abducted fully
• Gentle external rotation and traction
is applied, simultaneously lateral
pressure is applied to head
29. Spaso Method
• With patient supine on bed,
physician grasps the affected
distal forearm
• Lift arm vertically to ceiling
applying gentle traction and
external rotation
• Audible clunk is heard, if not
give direct pressure to humeral
head
30. Scapular manipulation
• Scaupula is manipulated using
physician’s hand
• Inferior tip is rotated medially and
displaced superiorly
