AB  - In  contrast  to  fracture  reduction,  which  may  be  safely  postponed,  dislocations  must  be  reduced  immediately  in  order  to  minimize  further  joint  damageDislocations  can  usually  be  reduced  by  gentle  sustained  tractionOften,  no  anesthetic  is  needed  for  several  hours  after  the  injury  due  to  the  protective  anesthesia  produced  by  the  injuryA  thorough  neurovascular  examination  should  be  performed  and  documented  pre-  and  postreductionRadiographs  should  be  obtained  postreduction  to  document  congruency  and  assess  for  the  presence  of  associated  fracturesFollowing  reduction,  the  joint  should  be  splinted  for  transportation  of  the  patientNonsteroidal  anti-inflammatory  drugs  (NSAIDs)  may  be  used  along  with  ice  for  pain  control  and  to  reduce  inflammationThe  dislocated  joint  should  be  treated  by  immobilization,  followed  by  graduated  active  exercises  through  a  full  range  of  motion
