Junior Dos Santos Dislocates Shoulder While Throwing a Punch - Doctor Explains
Former UFC champion Junior Dos Santos dislocated his shoulder while throwing a punch at Eagle FC. Dr. Brian Suter explains that while shoulder dislocations are common in mixed martial arts, the way Dos Santos suffered his injury was atypical. The dislocation occurred when the ball of the humerus was displaced forward, causing a noticeable deformity in the shoulder's contour. This injury typically happens when an arm is twisted awkwardly, but in this case, it was due to the punch's forward motion. Despite attempts to reposition the shoulder, the muscles' spasms made it challenging. Various techniques exist for reducing a dislocated shoulder, but success depends on the situation. If a shoulder can be quickly and successfully reduced, continuing a fight might be feasible, depending on the athlete's condition.
