Any delay in reduction may result in potential damage to the joints which are devoid of synovial fluid. Ayurvedic classics have enlisted the traumatic consequences of an individual under Kandabhagna and Sandhimukta which are of 12 and 6 varieties respectively. Owing to the severity in agony of the patient and impairment in motor functions which calls for an accurate diagnosis and immediate reduction, a humble effort is put forward in understanding the classical view of Sandhimukta along with the explanation of Shoulder joint Dislocation.
