A dislocated<unk>  usually can be successfully reduced into its normal position only by a trained medical professional. Trying to reduce a<unk>  without any training could substantially worsen the injury. X-rays are usually taken to confirm a diagnosis and detect any fractures which may also have occurred at the time of<unk> . A<unk>  is easily seen on an X-ray. Once a diagnosis is confirmed, the<unk>  is usually manipulated back into position. This can be a very painful process, therefore this is typically done either in the emergency department under sedation or in an operating room under a general anaesthetic. It is important the<unk>  is reduced as soon as possible, as in the state of<unk> , the blood supply to the<unk>  (or distal anatomy) may be compromised. This is especially true in the case of a dislocated ankle, due to the anatomy of the blood supply to the foot. Shoulder injuries can also be surgically stabilized, depending on the severity, using arthroscopic surgery. The most common treatment method for a<unk>  of the Glenohumeral<unk>  (GH<unk> /Shoulder<unk>  is exercise based management. Another method of treatment is to place the injured arm in a sling or in another immobilizing device in order to keep the<unk>  stable. Some<unk> s are more at risk of becoming dislocated again after an initial injury. This is due to the weakening of the muscles and ligaments which hold the<unk>  in place. The shoulder is a prime example of this. Any shoulder<unk>  should be followed up with thorough physiotherapy. On field reduction is crucial for<unk> s. As they are extremely common in sports events, managing them correctly at the game at the time of injury, can reduce long term issues. They require prompt evaluation, diagnosis, reduction, and postreduction management before the person can be evaluated at a medical facility. After care After a<unk> , injured<unk> s are usually held in place by a splint (for straight<unk> s like fingers and toes) or a bandage (for complex<unk> s like shoulders). Additionally, the<unk>  muscles, tendons and ligaments must also be strengthened. This is usually done through a course of physiotherapy, which will also help reduce the chances of repeated<unk> s of the same<unk> . For glenohumeral instability, the therapeutic program depends on specific characteristics of the instability pattern, severity, recurrence and direction with adaptations made based on the needs of the patient. In general, the therapeutic program should focus on restoration of strength, normalization of range of motion and optimization of flexibility and muscular performance. Throughout all stages of the rehabilitation program, it is important to take all related<unk> s and structures into consideration.
