It most likely depends on whether you have to have surgery or not. In my case, I did not and just started running again with my doctor's blessing after 12 weeks. I have also since read online that the average humerus fracture takes 12 weeks to heal.


How do you help a 2 month old baby with collarbone dislocation and why does it happen?

Take it to a chiropractor so they can relocate it. Baby bones are not yet completely hard (ossified) and their ligaments are very lax (loose). It's likely that the baby's arm was pulled too hard causing a dislocation in either the sternoclavicular joint (near the sternum/chest) or the acromioclavicular joint (near the shoulder). A chiropractor is trained to determine the direction of the dislocation and apply the proper force in the correct direction to relocate the joint effectively.


Are double jointed people less likely to suffer a dislocation than other people?

No. In fact, "double jointed" means that they have more lax ligaments, allowing for increased flexibility, so they have more dislocations.

You should see a chiropractor and be properly evaluated. The surrounding tissues have changed to accommodate the dislocation so there is likely a need for muscle/soft tissue work. You may need an x-ray.


Would firing a gun dislocate your shoulder if it were not for your wrist?

Firing a gun could potentially cause shoulder injury, but it would not likely result in a dislocation solely due to the absence of wrist support. Dislocation occurs when the humerus bone pops out of the shoulder joint, and this is primarily influenced by the anatomy of the shoulder joint itself, rather than the wrist. However, improper shooting technique or excessive recoil could contribute to shoulder strain or injury.
