Dr. M. Hytham Beck answered

Specializes in Surgery

Yes but: Yes the dislocated shoulder has to be reduced in a timely fashion otherwise the head of the humerus become necrotising and has to be replaced. The dislocated Stegner clavicle joint could be reduced surgically to minimize the deformity . Check with your bone doctor
