    This document provides information on dislocations, including subluxations. It defines dislocation as an injury where the bone ends are forced from their normal positions. Subluxation is a minor or incomplete dislocation where the joint surfaces still touch. The document lists the causes of dislocations as trauma from falls, accidents, or impacts, and risk factors like age, previous injuries, and certain medical conditions. It outlines the treatment approach for dislocations, which may include manipulation, immobilization, medication, surgery, or rehabilitation depending on the severity. The nursing management of patients with dislocations includes assessment, pain management, and addressing comfort.

    Dislocation

    Mr Yogendra Mehta
    Lecturer, HOD(AHN)
    BRNC
    Learning Objectives
    At the end of the teaching students should able to :
    • Define dislocation & subluxation.
    • List the causes & risk factors of dislocation.
    • Explain the pathology of dislocation.
    • State the clinical features of dislocation.
    • Enumerate the diagnostic approach for dislocation.
    • Explain the treatment approach for dislocation.
    • Explain the preventive measures for dislocation.
    • Explain the nursing management of patient with
    dislocation.
    Subluxation

    • Minor or incomplete
    dislocation in which the joint
    surfaces still touch but are not
    in normal relation to each
    other.
    • leads to numbness, tingling,
    pain, and burning in that area
    of the body.
    Dislocation
    • An injury in which the ends of your bones are forced from their
    normal positions.
    • Cause is usually trauma resulting from a fall, an auto accident,
    or a collision during contact or high-speed sports. 
    • Dislocation usually involves the body's larger joints.
    • Treat it as an emergency and seek medical attention as soon as
    possible.
    • An untreated dislocation could cause damage ligaments,
    nerves, or blood vessels.
    Dislocation
    Causes

    • unexpected or unbalanced impact. 


    • Fall
    • Sliding
    • Accident
    • Pathological conditions i.e; TB , Inflammatory disorder
    Risk Factors

    • Elderly People
    • Children
    • Previous h/o dislocation
    • Sportsman
    • Hard blow to joint
    • joint infection
    Pathology
    Clinical Features
    Clinical Features Contd….
    Diagnosis
    • History Taking
    • Physical Examination
    • Radiological diagnosis
    - X-Ray
    - MRI
    Physical Examination
    X-Ray of Dislocation
    X-Ray of Dislocation
    Treatment
    • Choice of treatment will depend on which joint is
    dislocated.
    • Depend on the severity of your dislocation.
    • According to Johns Hopkins University initial treatment for
    any dislocation:
    - R= Rest
    - I= Ice application
    - C= compression
    - E= Elevation
    Treatment Contd….
    If the joint doesn’t return to normal naturally, doctor may
    use one of the following treatments:
    • Manipulation or repositioning
    • Immobilization
    • Medication
    • Surgery
    • Rehabilitation
    Treatment Contd….
    Manipulation or repositioning
    - Given a sedative or anesthetic to remain comfortable and also to
    allow the muscles near your joint to relax, which eases the
    procedure.

    Immobilization
    - Wear a sling, splint, or cast for several weeks.
    - Prevent the joint from moving and allow the area to fully heal. 
    - Length of time your joint needs to be immobile will vary, depending
    on the joint and severity of the injury.
    Treatment Contd….
    Medication
    - Given a Muscle rexant

    Surgery: Joint Replacement & Reconstruction


    - Need surgery only if the dislocation damaged your nerves or blood
    vessels.
    - Unable to return bones to their normal position.
    - Often dislocate the same joints, such as their shoulders.
    - To prevent redislocation.
    - Reconstruct the joint and repair any damaged structures. 
    Treatment Contd….
    Rehabilitation
    - Goal of rehabilitation is to gradually increase the joint’s strength and
    restore its range of motion.
    - It’s important to go slowly so you don’t reinjure yourself before the
    recovery is complete.
    Prevention
    • Use handrails when going up and down staircases.
    • Keep a first aid kit in the area.
    • Use nonskid mats in wet areas, such as bathrooms.
    • Move electrical cords off the floor.
    • Avoid use of throw rugs.
    • Wear protective gear or clothing when doing physical activities, such
    as sports.
    • Avoid standing on unstable items, such as chairs.
    Nursing Management
    • Nursing Assessment
    - History taking
    Physical examination
    - Pain assessment
    - Injury assessment
    - Comfort assessment
    Nursing Management
    • Nursing Diagnosis
    Nursing Management
    • Nursing Intervention
