A member asked:
After relocating a dislocated shoulder, what do doctors do to the damaged blood vessels or nerves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually nothing: Most shoulder dislocations are not associated with any significant nerve or artery damage. Once the shoulder is relocated the tissues should heal.
