Hey Doc, ex american football player here, my both shoulders are dislocating constantly(300+ times so far) and I learned to live with that.

What I'm wondering is I usually relocate them by trapping the dislocated shoulders' elbow under my pecs(which are muscley/bumpy) to create a natural leverage point, than pull on the elbow, hence creating room for the shoulder head which now slides back into its socket. At least thats what I hope I'm doing. Will this cause me trouble down the road?

@tatarjr49 it will. you're risking either a Bankart or SLAP injury. Both are avulsions of the labrum, which is the cartilage surrouding the glenoid cavity of the capula to give it depth, albeit in distinct geographical locations. You're also risking fracture of the bony rim of the glenoid when reducig the dislocation, although less likely. There's also the risk of a Hill-Sachs lesion, which I believe you already have and is the cause of your frequent dislocation. email me so I can tell you more

Stimson's deffinitely. No patient can reduce their own shoulder dilocation on the first event. If they do, they've suffered it a number of times and there is a ropture of the anterior glenohumeral ligaments and joint capsule, which accounts for the joint laxitude. Have the patient lie on their belly with the arm hanging at the side of a table and attach about 10-12 lbs to tje wrist. Leave it there and wait for the joint to reduce

@alphabex..... did you read that I AM the one performing the maneuver and that I uploaded this video several years ago?

@betitopark good for him

@fhdjskalg That's the hipocratic meneuver, and it does a LOT of damage....

@sameotoko

you stated that "No patient can reduce their own shoulder dilocation on the first event." but actually I was able to the very first time. However, since you and all other doctors apparently think this is impossible, I was not given proper treatment (no one believed it actually dislocated) and the problem became horrible (recurrent) and I saw around 10 doctors and physical therapists until finally 4 years later I found a doctor willing to treat it with a Bankart repair.

i thought this is kochers method, am i wrong

[anthonyoshea3308]

@anthonyoshea3308 the reason i asked is my shoulder kind of stops at a 90 degree angle if i was lifting a weight downwards from over the height of my head (like a high shelf), but if i was to lift it up again lean slightly forward and move my elbows closer together i could bring it down easily, should i be worried about this?

[anthonyoshea3308]

@sameotoko I dislocated my shoulder in an car accident about 5 years ago(age 18), it then dislocated a further 4 times that same year. i was told my case was borderline as to whether surgery or physiotherapy was the best option to treat injury properly. i done several months of physio which stopped the dislocating. my shoulder feels about 99% normal but they said based on x-rays the a/c joint isint alligned normally and it could be a problem when im an old man. Should i get it looked at again?

When I tore my labrum my arm was all the way out and I had to carry it. I couldntp put it back in my self an the doc did this to put it back in. Hurt like hell and I was like him. But I bonly had the first half happen. Now it pops out when ever it feels like it an I jus relaxas much as I can, step on my fingers to stretch it out and it goes in by its self. Freakin sucks

He look like he bout to die lol

ESTA ES LA MANIOBRA DE KOCHER ^^

@SuperDeepFeel Not Kocher it is actually a modified technique but not Kocher. The beggining could be identified as such but not the rest of the technique.
