Large process near head of humerus?
The large process near the head of the humerus is likely referring to the greater tubercle. It is a bony projection that provides attachment sites for muscles of the rotator cuff. Injuries or inflammation to this area can result in pain and limited shoulder movement.
What can you do for your dislocated rib after its been out of place for a year?
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?
It might; however we have elbows. If the gun was held in an arm with no wrist, or a tightly bound wrist, and the gun had a high enough kick-back, the arm would probably bend at the elbow and possibly whack the person in the face. If the person had a completely unbendable arm, then the shoulder would probably get dislocated after firing the gun, provided that the gun, again, has a high kick-back. Hope that helps you :)
What is the labrum of the shoulder joint?
the labrum acts like a gasket of sorts that sits around the glenoid fossa which is the socket that the ball of the humerus sits in. the glenoid labrum adds extra stability to the joint and deepens the socket by approximately fifty percent. it also covers and prevents the bones of the humeral head from rubbing the socket. the shoulders tendons also connect from this point.
Will the world ever turn into a black hole?

Why is ligament repair necessary when you have a severe dislocation and sprain?
ligaments connect bones to bones. in a severe dislocation the ligaments were most likely torn and damaged
A muscle that inserts on the greater tubercle of the humerus is most likely involved in what?
lateral rotation
Which of two necks of the humerus likely to fracture in an accident?
In an accident, the surgical neck of the humerus is more likely to fracture than the anatomical neck. The surgical neck is located just below the tubercles of the humerus and is a common site for fractures due to its relatively thinner structure and exposure to trauma. In contrast, the anatomical neck is less prone to fractures as it is surrounded by more robust bone and ligaments.
How do you identify a dislocation?
You can usually tell by simply looking at it. For instance, if your kneecap is pointing sideways, you dislocated it, and are likely bawling your eyes out.
Does a dislocation occur when a twisting action tears the ligaments at a joint?
No, a dislocation is when the bones at a joint are forced out of their normal position. A tearing of ligaments due to a twisting action is more likely to cause a sprain, which is damage to the ligaments that connect bones at a joint.
What is the most likely assessment when the bone is not protruding from the skin however the arm is in an abnormal position?
either complete dislocation if it's at a joint, or a compound fracture if the bone is broken
How long does a proximal fracture of th humerus bone take to heal?
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.
How is bone cancer tumor in humerus bone treated?
As it truly depends on the specific type of malignancy it is difficult to site specifics. Localization of the tumor and excision is highly likely. Partial amputation is possible.
What does small inferiorly migrating left paracentral disc protusion at L5-S1 mean?
It means the disk between lumbar 5 and sacral 1 is moving down on the left-center portion of the disk from where it's supposed to be. If you are having low back pain, this is likely a cause.
