Dislocation Treatment in North Miami Beach

 Walk-In Orthopedic Care for Shoulder, Elbow, Finger, and Toe Dislocations

Joint dislocations are painful, often traumatic injuries that require prompt and expert medical care. At Full Orthopedics Urgent Care in North Miami Beach, we treat joint dislocations of the shoulder, elbow, finger, and toe with same-day evaluation and realignment. Our orthopedic providers specialize in musculoskeletal injuries, so you receive fast, expert-level care without the long wait or unnecessary referral often experienced at emergency rooms or general urgent care centers.

If you’ve experienced a sports injury, fall, or accident that resulted in a dislocated joint, time is critical. A delayed or improper realignment can increase the risk of long-term damage to the joint, nerves, or surrounding tissues. That’s why Full Orthopedics offers immediate walk-in care from providers trained in safe, effective reduction techniques and post-dislocation stabilization.

What Is a Dislocation?

A dislocation occurs when a bone slips out of its normal position within a joint. This can happen due to sudden trauma, such as a fall or collision, or as a result of repetitive strain in people with joint instability. Dislocations are most common in the shoulder, elbow, fingers, and toes—but can happen in nearly any joint.

Symptoms often include:

• Sudden, severe pain
• Swelling and bruising
• Visible deformity or out-of-place joint
• Inability to move the joint
• Numbness or tingling around the area
  

If you suspect a dislocation, do not attempt to pop it back in yourself. Improper realignment can damage blood vessels, nerves, or cartilage. Instead, visit Full Orthopedics Urgent Care for immediate evaluation.

In-House X-Rays and Expert Realignment

At Full Orthopedics, we use in-house digital X-rays to confirm the diagnosis and rule out associated fractures. Once the type and extent of the dislocation is known, our provider will perform a manual reduction—repositioning the bone safely back into its proper place. This procedure is often done under local anesthesia to reduce pain and muscle tension.

Depending on the injury, we may also apply a splint, sling, or brace to immobilize the joint and allow the surrounding tissues to heal. For shoulder and elbow dislocations, follow-up care and physical therapy may be recommended to restore range of motion and prevent re-injury.

Shoulder, Elbow, Finger, Toe, and Other Dislocations Treated Onsite

• Shoulder dislocations are among the most common and can occur from falls, athletic injuries, or even everyday motion in those with joint laxity. We treat both anterior and posterior dislocations, and provide appropriate immobilization after the joint is reset.
• Elbow dislocations are often caused by falls onto an outstretched arm and may involve associated ligament or nerve injury. Our team evaluates for complications and applies splints to protect the joint post-reduction.
• Finger dislocations often occur during sports or daily activities. We provide careful reduction to avoid damage to tendons and ligaments, and stabilize the finger for proper healing.
• Toe dislocations may be painful but are typically straightforward to treat. We realign the joint and protect the toe using buddy taping, splinting, or protective footwear depending on severity.

We also evaluate and manage less common dislocations including the patella (kneecap), thumb, hib, wrist, and ankle, depending on the severity. If a reduction cannot be safely performed onsite, we will stabilize the joint and coordinate urgent referral or imaging as needed.
