What to look out for after shoulder dislocation surgery?

After shoulder dislocation surgery, it is necessary to pay attention to the immobilization and rest of the shoulder joint, carry out functional exercises, and cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy to prevent soft tissue adhesion and contracture of the shoulder joint.

1.Rest of the braking of the shoulder joint:

After the operation, immobilization should be carried out for 2 to 3 weeks, and functional exercises should be carried out according to certain requirements, do not participate in strenuous activities too early, and do not do strong external rotation actions within 6 weeks.

2.Perform functional exercises:

During the guidance period, functional exercises of the elbow, wrist, and hands, as well as muscle relaxation of the upper limbs, can be performed.

After the immobilization is removed, shoulder function exercises can begin. For example, you can do actions such as opening the bow left and right, holding the sky with both hands, pulling the pulley by hand, and climbing the wall with your fingers.

3.With TCM physiotherapy:

When starting functional exercises, acupuncture, massage, and physiotherapy can be combined to prevent soft tissue adhesions and contractures of the shoulder joint.

After shoulder dislocation surgery, patients should pay attention to functional exercises to avoid soft tissue adhesion of the shoulder joint.

After shoulder dislocation surgery, it is necessary to carry out immobilization of the shoulder joint to prevent re-dislocation of the shoulder joint, and after immobilization, a triangular scarf is required to suspend to prevent excessive abduction and excessive extension of the shoulder joint. In the early years after surgery, the shoulder joint can move within the appropriate range, and the range of motion should be moderate and not cause pain in the shoulder joint. Due to shoulder dislocation, the shoulder joint capsule will form shoulder adhesions after giving tightening sutures, early appropriate activities to prevent shoulder joint adhesions, after 4-6 weeks of good healing of the shoulder joint capsule, you can gradually increase the range of shoulder joint activities, and strive to achieve the normal range of shoulder joint activities.

In order to prevent joint adhesion and promote tissue repair, we can perform physiotherapy, acupuncture, hot compress, massage and external blood circulation and painkiller ointment**, which can not only speed up tissue repair, but also improve shoulder joint function. Do not do strenuous exercise for 3 months, especially high-intensity or ultra-large weight-bearing activities of the shoulder joint, because such high-intensity activities will re-damage the soft tissues that have just healed but are not yet solid, causing re-dislocation. It is recommended that the exercise intensity can be gradually increased, according to the pain tolerance of the exercise intensity, do not shake the shoulder, hang the horizontal bar with one hand and other exercises, if necessary, go to the hospital for MRI examination to check the soft tissue recovery and joint reduction to determine the exercise intensity.

After shoulder dislocation surgery, bed rest is an important part of the postoperative process, bed rest for a period of time after surgery, patients after surgery are routinely in bed for two to three days, generally patients after internal fixation surgery get out of bed early, because of the protection of internal fixation, simple nucleus pulposus removal, because the scar formation of the annulus fibrous takes a long time, the specific time is determined by the habits of each doctor in each hospital, as short as three to five days, as long as several months.

The precautions for patients with shoulder dislocation after surgery are as follows: after the shoulder dislocation is repaired, there is a systematic exercise plan in the routine, we need to strictly follow the ** plan to do, in the initial healing of one and a half months, appropriate immobilization, can not do a wide range of activities, generally can shrug shoulders, arm swing back and forth, but abduction activities should not exceed 30 degrees. In the second stage, the passive range of motion can be exercised with appropriate ** exercises, and it can generally be healed three months after surgery, and muscle exercises are needed at this time.

Therefore, the whole precautions after surgery are to strictly follow the ** plan, neither lazy nor excessive, because excessive may cause the failure of the repair structure, but laziness will cause stiffness of the joints.

After shoulder dislocation surgery, women need to pay attention to the implementation of functional exercises, and cooperate with each other to reduce pain, stabilize joint mobility, do not exercise too early, do not exercise the shoulder joint too much, and pay attention to wound hygiene, prevent work wound infection, and need to have proper nutrition to encourage the digestion of protein and high-calorie food. Do not lift heavy objects or exercise with heavy loads. You need to pay attention to eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, etc., to avoid greasy.

Patients with shoulder dislocation are advised to sleep in a supine position after surgery because at this time. It should also be noted that if the patient has an abduction brace fixation of the shoulder joint, even during sleep.

When our shoulder joint is subjected to external force, it is easy to cause dislocation of our acromioclavicular joint, which is painful due to hailstones in the position of the shoulder joint, which is often unbearable, and the shoulder joint will not be able to move freely, and may need to be surgically carried out**. So, do you regret having acromioclavicular dislocation surgery? Let's find out with me.

The dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint is due to the rupture of the acromioclavicular ligament or coracoclavicular ligament caused by external force in our shoulder joint. Acromioclavicular dislocation surgery can help draw fixed joints and help with tropical reconstruction and repair. In general, acromioclavicular joint surgery is performed using steel wires, tension bands and K-wires**.

Acromioclavicular joint surgery is mainly suitable for patients with complete dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint, and conservative measures can be taken if it is mild. The process of acromioclavicular joint surgery requires the patient's acromioclavicular joint to be cut open to fully expose the acromioclavicular joint, so that the doctor can better remove the broken bone pieces, reset the joint, and fix the acromioclavicular joint. After eight months of immobilization after the collapse of the sail surgery, it can be recovered.

Therefore, if there is a problem with the acromioclavicular joint, it is necessary to do it in time to avoid serious regrets.

Acromioclavicular joint dislocations can be divided into three types:

1.Type I: Sprained acromioclavicular and ligament without definite ligament rupture.

2.Type II: rupture of the acromioclavicular capsule and ligaments, "subluxation" of the lateral end of the clavicle.

3.Type III: The acromioclavicular ligament and the coracoclavicular ligament have been ruptured, and the lateral end of the clavicle is "true dislocated".

**Measures for acromioclavicular dislocation: corresponding to the classification above:

1. Type 1: No special treatment is required, and the triangular scarf is suspended for several days.

2. Type 2: There are many opinions. a. Treat it as type 1, on the grounds that not every type 2 case will produce slow and slow erection pain.

Once pain develops, it's never too late for surgery. b. The lateral end of the extraclavicular reed finch is forced to be reduced by pressure pads and slings, which is only used in children. c. Closed reduction and internal fixation under TV perspective

Under local anesthesia, the assistant presses the lateral end of the four sides for closed reduction, and the surgeon inserts a K-wire into the clavicle marrow cavity through the acromion under the supervision of videofluoroscopy. d. Incision reduction and tension band fixation.

3. Type III: Surgery should be performed**, and there are two surgical methods that are more common. a. Incisional reduction and tension band fixation. b. Clavicle-rafter tension screw fixation.

4. Avoid trauma.
