Dislocation
Wisconsin's Dislocation Doctor
A dislocation occurs when a bone is forced out of its normal position. Dislocation is usually caused by trauma such as a fall, car accident or a collision. Adults usually dislocate the shoulder, which is very mobile and therefore susceptible to being dislocated. Children usually dislocate the elbow.
Milwaukee Dislocation Treatment
With proper (and prompt) treatment, you could potentially regain full function in a few weeks. In the future, you might be more susceptible to repeat dislocation. Physical therapy and/or surgery may be required depending on the severity of the injury. In the case of shoulder dislocation, Bankart Repair is an operation sometimes required.
