Methods 1: upper limb traction reduction.
1, upper limb flexion. You can reset in sitting position, standing position or supine position. Bend the elbow so that the forearm and upper arm form a 90-degree angle. This action may be painful, but it can be continued if it is not unbearable.
2. Turn your arm. Rotate your arms so that your back is facing forward and extend your arms, not in front of your body. Rotate up slowly, so that you can turn your arm out of the joint.
3. Lift your arm slowly. Slowly raise your arms above your head. When you reach a point slightly above your head, your shoulders will automatically reset. If this is difficult to succeed, you should use a certain amount of strength when pulling with your hands to make your muscles stretch more.
Method 2: Gravity reset
1, find a place to lie down. If you are at home, you can lie on the table or bed. If you are in the wild, you can lie on the drooping branches. You need to lie flat with your arms down and don't touch the ground.
2. find something to carry the load. Although you can make this reduction without load, heavy objects can make the reduction more smooth. If possible, tie a heavy object to your arm. You can also hold the weight tightly.
3. Put down your arm slowly. Don't be too rude or too violent. Make sure that your hands and arms descend at a steady speed. Stop moving when your arms are perpendicular to your body and keep your hands above the ground.
4. Wait patiently. By resting your arm, you are slowly stretching your muscles. When the arm is dislocated, the muscles contract and cause pain. When the muscles relax and stretch, the shoulder joint should be automatically reset within a few minutes.
Method 3: Use the knee for reduction.
1. Sit with your knees on your chest. The floor and bed are the first choice, and there is enough room for rolling. If it is so comfortable, you can only bend the affected knee and keep the healthy side stretched.
2. Grab your knees. Cross your fingers, put your hands in front of your knees and give a thumbs up.
Step 3 push. When you put your hands in front of your knees, slowly lean back and push your arms. You can also pull your knees forward to create tension. This action should be done very slowly, not too stiff, so as to avoid further damage to the shoulder joint. Continue to pull until the joint is reset.
Method 4: Reset with the help of friends.
1, find a place to lie down. If you are outdoors, lie on a broad, drooping branch; You can lie on the table or bed at home. Adjust so that the shoulders and upper limbs hang on the edge, while ensuring that other parts of the body are supported.
Let a friend hold your hand. Friends should hold you tight and don't suddenly slip or yank your arm. You can cross your fingers. Of course, the most important thing is to ensure that others can stretch their arms comfortably.
3. Pull your arm. If necessary, let your friend's feet stand against your body as a fulcrum in the pulling process. Gently pull your arm away from your body and don't accelerate. Constant arm tension can stretch the shoulder muscles and bounce back in a few minutes.
Method 5: Post-reset processing
1, put your arm on the ice. You can also apply ice before reduction, which can relieve painful shoulder swelling. Never ice directly. Wrap the ice with a towel or something and put it on your arm.
2. Put on a sling. Although you will feel less pain soon after the reset, you will still feel persistent pain in the next few days. To prevent further injury, you should always use a sling to fix your elbow. Wear this for a week or two until you feel no pain.
3. medication. To relieve shoulder pain, you can take some over-the-counter painkillers, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, acetaminophen or naproxen. Drugs will reduce the degree of pain and help relieve joint swelling.
4. See a doctor. If your shoulder reduction is unsuccessful, or you are worried about serious joint injury, see a doctor as soon as possible. The sooner you see a doctor, the easier the treatment will be.
5. Physical therapy. In order to restore shoulder function and avoid possible problems in the future, it is necessary for you to see a physical therapist. They will help you with stretching and massage to relieve pain and do all-round joint activities without increasing the risk of dislocation.
Tips People with dislocated joints should minimize exercise. Walking and any shoulder pulling will cause pain.
Reset as soon as possible after dislocation, because it will become more and more difficult as time goes by.
If they need to go to the emergency room, take them to the nearest hospital and grab their arms during the transfer. Wrap anything that can be used as a sling, such as tape, shirt, etc. Put it under the arm and elbow and hang it on the opposite shoulder.
Make sure there is enough time to heal.
When warning of severe trauma, do not reset according to the guidelines.
Soft tissue injuries around rotator cuff, such as rotator cuff filling, heal slowly or not.
Patients with repeated dislocation may have complications, such as humeral fracture and rotator cuff injury.
These methods are only used to stabilize the shoulder joint in an emergency or before medical treatment in marginal and remote areas. In general, you'd better go to a hospital, clinic or medical institution.
Ligaments and tendons heal slowly after injury. This situation will increase the time for medical treatment and physical therapy.
Some complications, such as severe soft tissue injury, fracture or bone fragments, will increase the difficulty of manual reduction of shoulder joint.
