Abstract:
As the structure of shoulder joint is complex, proper method s should be adopted to treat the injured shoulder joint according to the type an d position of the trauma. Conservative treatment has been widely used to treat t he slightly displaced or stable fractures (including those of the proximal humer us, clavicle and shoulder blade), and most of the fresh dislocations of shoulder joint and acromioclavicular joint if the injuries are not serious. As for the o bvious unstable shoulder fractures, recurrent dislocation of shoulder joint, sev ere dislocation of acromioclavicular joint, dislocation of shoulder joint accomp anied with fracture, and rotator cuff tear, an operation should usually be the r ight choice. In either conservative or operative treatment, earlier systematic f unctional rehabilitation should be widely used in order to achieve satisfactory functional recovery of should joint.
