A dislocated shoulder is an injury in which the upper arm bone pops out of the cup-shaped socket that's part of the shoulder blade. The shoulder is the body's most flexible joint, which makes it more likely to dislocate.
If you suspect a dislocated shoulder, seek prompt medical attention. Most people regain full use of their shoulder within a few weeks. However, once a shoulder dislocates, the joint might be prone to repeat dislocations.
Techniques commonly used to reduce anterior shoulder dislocations include the following :
Kocher’s method
Stimson maneuver.
Scapular manipulation.
External rotation.
Milch technique.
Davos technique.
Traction-countertraction.
