Question 1

constant shoulder dislocation e.r. dr think i'm drug seeking what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Find a SportsMed doc: Go see a sports medicine specialist, preferably someone who has a primary care or non-operative background. See if physical therapy can strengthen your shoulder (rotator cuff) enough to prevent any more dislocations. If you're beyond that, an orthopedic shoulder specialist can offer you different surgical procedures to keep you from dislocating. Be prepared for lots of rehab afterwards!

Question 2

what are dislocations?

Accepted Answer

Joint displacement.: A dislocation of a joint occurs when the 2 matching surfaces of a joint are no longer in contact. This is typically quite painful and requires immediate medical attention. The joint will need to be reduced, in order for the 2 joint surfaces to come together.  This often requires some form of anesthesia or sedation. After a dislocation, the joint may be unstable and require immobilization.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Atanlo-axial disloca: Did you have MRI, CT xrays ? How was the diagnosis made?   Would seek a second opinion and also ask for a neruosurgical consult on health tap prime. Ask if conservative measure like traction,  PT could be of any help  before pursing surgery.

Question 6

whats a patella dislocation?

Accepted Answer

Knee cap: A patella dislocation is when the knee cap comes out of place.  This generally occurs towards the outside of the knee and can occur with twisting injuries to the knee.   The medial patellofemoral ligament is often injured and there can be injuries to the cartilage inside the knee.  As long as there are no cartilage injuries  and it is the initial dislocation, they typically respond well to therapy.

Question 7

Many reasons: A malocclusion, opening too wide, grinding your teeth, chewing too much gum, having oral surgery done can cause dislocation of the tmj. Any one or more of the above situations will do it. These are the most common causes, there are plenty of others.

Question 8

what is done for a kneecap dislocation?

Accepted Answer

Depends on frequency: Single episode of dislocation treated non-op with therapy and selective muscle strengthening/retraining, sometimes bracing/taping.  Recurrent episodes suggest anatomic predisposition to instability and warrant consideration for operative stabilization.  Most important static stabilizer of kneecap(patella) is medial patellofemoral ligament and is frequently reconstructed for recurrent dislocations.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Trauma or bruxing: Tmj can be caused by trauna or a poor bite and associated bruxing (clenching and grinding). Dis location occurs when the ligaments in the joint are injured or very loose from yers of bruxing.
