Signs of a dislocated humerus

A sign of this is that a depression and arching are visible near the head of the humerus, although this is not only characteristic of dislocation and also happens due to inversion of the head of the scapula. The end of the shoulder on the other side seems sharper than this, unless due to a bruise or other cause there has been a displacement of itself or the bone of which it is the end, and the suffering has been calmed by treatment and they think that the trouble is no longer there. You notice that the dislocated end of the humerus protrudes roundly towards the armpit, and you see that the upper part of the arm does not press against the side as well as the healthy arm; it approaches the side only with effort and sharp pain, and when the patient tries to raise his arm up and he can’t touch his ear; other movements are also difficult for him. These signs also occur with washi, tumor or bruise.

As for the treatment of milder dislocations and dislocations in the body of children and people with soft bodies, the doctor pulls the injured arm with his hand, inserts the other hand under the armpit, closer to the head of the humerus, keeping it close to the head all the time, and pushes the joint upward while In this case, he constantly pulls the humerus down with his hand. In children, you can sometimes straighten the head of the humerus with your middle finger by pulling back on the bone with the same hand. And in case of more severe dislocation in people with a strong body, the easiest way to reduce it is for the chiropractor to rest the patient’s foot in the armpit and place his heel close to the head of the shoulder or rest it on a ball - dry or lubricated with oil, if there is a tumor. He holds the heel near the head of the shoulder, with the patient lying supine, and pulls the dislocated arm with both hands in a straight direction, as if wanting to tear it out of the shoulder. At the same time, he slightly tilts the arm inward and inserts the bone into the joint. This is the most correct and easiest way. Or the doctor calls for a strong, tall man, taller than the patient, and he rests his shoulder under the patient’s armpit and lifts him off the ground, so that the patient hangs on his shoulder, and he pulls the patient’s hand to his stomach. If the patient is light in weight and his body does not overextend his arms, then something overbearing is hung from him.

Sometimes, instead of a person, they use a pole standing on the ground, on top of which is a ball of rags and leather, which replaces the person’s shoulder during these actions. The chiropractor pulls the sore arm on the other side and, if necessary, increases the weight of the patient with some kind of weight or someone hangs on it.

If the dislocation is severe and difficult or the time has been prolonged, then sometimes, after watering and bathing, some stronger treatment is required. Often they use a tool like a pestle, that is, a short stick, the length of which is equal to the length of the humerus, or more or less, and on top of it they strengthen a ball, most conveniently, it is made of rags and leather. The ball on a stick is pushed under the patient's arm, and when they want to do all this, it is necessary for a strong person to hold the pestle under the arm and push the shoulder up with it, or for one or two people to pull the shoulder up in order to resist the chiropractor, who is pulling the arm down. And another person holds the patient by the other shoulder so that he does not rise when they push the sore shoulder. The chiropractor, meanwhile, holds the arm and pulls it, and drags it, as if intending to separate it from the shoulder and tear it out, and tilts it a little inward, and when he does this, the humerus falls into the joint. The ball is inserted under the armpit very tightly, resting it on the upper part of the head of the humerus; the support of the piece of wood and the ball should be near the head of the humerus, and not directly under it, so that the humerus does not break after it is fused; it cannot be returned to its place according to the well-known reason for you.

Sometimes a dislocated shoulder is treated with the help of a ladder; the head of the shoulder is placed on the step of the ladder, having previously softened it with windings and given it a shape corresponding to the head of the shoulder. The person is suspended from the other side and the affected arm is pulled, and the head of the humerus slides into place. However, the place from which you hang it and the step of the ladder should be near the head of the shoulder, and not directly under it, so that it does not break.

Instead of a ladder rung and a round ball, they also use a rope, which is fixed in the same place so that

so that she does not go down to another place, because because of this there is a risk of a fracture of the humerus. They also treat in other ways derived from these methods, but the first method is the best.

When the dislocated bone returns to its place, one of the good dressings is one in which a ball is tied to the shoulder with wide ribbons that prevent the dislocation of the reduced joint. The bandage - the same one or another, applied crosswise over the first - should reach the other shoulder, with the cross being on the sore shoulder. Then the humerus is bandaged to the side, down, and the ulna and the end of the arm are pulled up to the neck. The bandage is not removed until the seventh day or longer and the patient is fed as you know. If the joint stubbornly dislocates every time it is restored, then cauterization cannot be avoided, and you know how this is done.
