A dislocated joint, usually a shoulder, is a fabulous dramatic device. It's (usually) non-lethal, it hurts a lot, it severely disables their range of motion, and the character is usually forced to reduce (relocate) the joint without the convenience of proper medical attention or anesthetics, meaning it will almost always hurt. A lot. The injured person will often have to coax someone nearby into assisting with the reduction, which they will be reluctant to do because of the Squickiness of the procedure. The opposite of this is when the injured person is assisted by a more experienced individual who lulls them into a more relaxed frame of mind before surprising them by deftly snapping the joint back into place. If you want to show someone as a total badass, have them relocate their own shoulder by slamming it into a wall, etc. This trope has some elements of Truth in Television; while it is always better to seek proper medical attention, people in remote locations such as hikers and skiers sometimes have to reduce dislocated joints on their own. Where this trope starts to break from reality is the method used to pop the bone back into place. There are procedures that, while not as quick and dramatic as those shown in media, can put a shoulder back into joint with minimal pain, and most people with experience dealing with injuries would know this. |

In the Sengoku Basara: Samurai Legends manga, Hideyoshi dislocates Masamune's shoulder with his bare hands. Masamune then has to fight one-armed until he pulls himself together and reduces it. Badass though he may be, it looks incredibly painful. | |

The Pretender: In the episode "Keys", Miss Parker dislocates her own thumb in order to escape a set of handcuffs, and then pops it back into place afterwards. Another episode had Jarod pop back his own shoulder after it'd dislocated in a plane crash. |

Ginji of Get Backers fame once had both arms and legs dislocated as a form of non-lethal restraint. He proceeded to pop one shoulder back in by hurling himself on the ground hoping it would hit right. Somehow, it did, and he then leaped out the window of the boat. Cue comically trying to swim with only one limb. | |

Arrow: While they're on the island of Lian Yu, Slade Wilson has Oliver Queen tied up and is going to kill him, because he's not a fighter and could give away Slade's hideout if captured. But when Oliver breaks his thumb to slip free of his ropes and take an (ineffectual) swing at Slade, he knows Oliver has what it takes to be trained to fight (it's strongly implied Slade was hoping for this to happen). Like other lessons Oliver learns on the island, it's a Chekhov's Skill that gets used in later episodes. In "Legacy", Anatoli frees Oliver from being tied to the chair, by dislocating his thumbs and then rearranging them into place: In a crossover with The Flash (2014), Oliver mentions that Anatoli taught him how to specially stretch the ligaments so he won't break any bones while doing this. As the Arrow and the Flash have done a "Freaky Friday" Flip, it's Barry Allen who has to dislocate his own thumbs, and Oliver bursts out laughing at the sight as he never realised how silly it looked. In "The Return", Oliver dislocates his sister Thea's arm so she has the flexibility to reach out of their cell and around the corner to press the button to unlock the doors. |

In Weak Hero, Dongha dislocates Alex's shoulder during their fight, leaving Alex with only one arm to work with. While all the fights in the series are brutal, this marks the first time that one of the protagonists loses the use of their limb during a fight. Alex still manages to get in some good hits, but Dongha keeps targeting his injured shoulder and would've forced him into a defeat if not for Gerard's timely intervention. | |

Martin Riggs in Lethal Weapon films can dislocate his shoulder at will, and uses it to escape from a straitjacket and ropes in Lethal Weapon 2. Of course, afterward he has to pop it back in place (by himself). The fact that he does both of these things without doing more than grimacing serves to underscore how utterly badass (or crazy) he is. He does cry out in pain when he reduces it, and he cringes and curls up into a standing fetal position when he's not in combat. | |

In the first Best of the Best movie Alex, whose career as a Taekwondo competitor was nearly ended by a past shoulder injury, gets his shoulder dislocated by his opponent. (With the fairly strong implication that his opponent knew about the injury from scouting Alex and intentionally targeted it.) Despite the protests of the team's head coach, Alex insists on his teammates and the coaching staff popping the shoulder back into place and then finishing the last 30 seconds or so of his bout without the benefit of his right arm. (In a small nod to proper treatment, unlike many cases listed in this article, they do bind his arm very tightly to try to prevent the shoulder from dislocating again.) | |

In an episode of Lupin III, Lupin and Jigen have to jump from a car with a bomb strapped to its undercarriage (placed there by a hitman posing as Jigen’s old shooting mentor). They roll down a grassy hill to safety, but Jigen can’t stop himself before colliding with a rock, dislocating his right shoulder. Lupin pops it back into place, but it’s still painful enough that Jigen is shaking in agony until the entire arm is immobilized. Because his right arm is his shooting arm, Jigen is forced to allow Lupin to take revenge against his treacherous former teacher for him. | |

Little Hands, Big Attitude: While evading Agent Stone in his mecha suit, Sonic crashes hard against the frozen lake and dislocates his shoulder. This means that he can no longer carry Shadow to safety, who can't move on his own because of his disabled leg, and now the two have no real means of protecting the Chaos Emerald. It is only quick thinking from Shadow and Silver's timely intervention that saves them. Later, when Maddie gives Sonic a towel to bite down so she can relocate it, Kncukles comments that his tribe used to use bark for this. Sonic at first protests but Maddie tells him that he could have broken a tooth without something to bite down. | |

The M.O. of the martial artist A.I. Iron Schwartz in Real Drive is to dislocate the joints of his defeated opponents both to humiliate them and to prevent them from continuing fighting reliably without putting their lives in danger, since it's implied that androids can't kill. | |

Japanese wrestler K-ness once got his elbow dislocated for real after a botched spot with Masato Yoshino, but he just relocated it again in order to keep on with the match. | |

Spider-Man once had to put a dislocated jaw back into place after battling Hammerhead. Proportionate strength of a spider + metal garbage bin = ow. He also dislocated a shoulder against Puma, and had to get it back in himself. | |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater features Naked Snake getting, among other injuries, a dislocated elbow after he falls from a bridge. After using the proper medical tools on him, the player gets to watch him reduce the joint, complete with nerve-wracking sound effects. Snake's arm is dislocated during the escape from the hospital in the prologue of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. His buddy Ishmael sets it in place for him, complete with sickening sound effects. Snake can also dislocate his arm in gameplay, and the player can set it back in place with a button press. |

Martha Jones in the Doctor Who episode "The Doctor's Daughter" popped in the shoulder of a Hath (a fish-like alien) immediately after it had been injured while trying to kill her. This earns her the respect and friendship of all the other Hath. | |

ER: In the season 5 episode "The Good Fight", Carter and Lucy are searching downtown Chicago for a patient's father (they need him for a blood transfusion, because he and his daughter share a rare blood type) when Carter falls and dislocates his shoulder trying to scale a fence. He coaches Lucy through popping his arm back into socket (an evidently very painful process). By the end of the episode (and for the next few episodes after), Carter has his arm in a sling. | |

This happens occasionally in Warrior Cats. In Moonrise, Mousefur's shoulder gets dislocated when a Twoleg tries to capture her; Cinderpelt teaches Leafpaw how to fix it. In Leafpool's Wish, Whitepaw's tail gets dislocated, and Leafpool has to debate the best way to treat her since the apprentice is otherwise wounded from tangling with a hare. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In "The Zeppo", Faith uses a shoulder relocation as a segue into sex; notable because she uses the mild-mannered Xander merely as a counterweight, saying "Hold Me", and when he goes to give her a Security Cling, snaps it back into place. | |

Ronon Dex from Stargate Atlantis, after dislocating his shoulder in an explosion that caused the space station they were on to start falling out of orbit, slams his shoulder into a wall to get it back into place. This despite Sheppard being right there, telling him to calm down and offering to help. | |

In Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Domon intentionally dislocates his own right shoulder while caught up in the Cobra Gundam's coils; because this series' Gundams are Motion-Capture Mecha, God Gundam's shoulder also dislocates, which gives Domon enough wiggle room to escape Cobra's clutches and perform his Finishing Move left-handed. | |

In one episode of Burn Notice, Michael lets the bad guy dislocate his shoulder (which Fiona chides him for later) to maintain his cover, then, after the bad guy leaves, slams his shoulder against a post to pop it back in. In the next scene, it's clearly still sore, and not helped much when the same bad guy threatens to dislocate it again. In a later episode, Fiona dislocates her shoulder to get out of being cuffed to a chair, popping it back a minute later by herself. |

After Dr. Gorner in Devil May Care tells James Bond that he is going to fly the stolen airjet to destroy Trekhgorniy, the place where Soviets manufacture their nuclear bombs, Bond points out that he is unable to do so because he dislocated Gorner's shoulder. Dr. Gorner then orders his enforcer Chagrin to fix it, which he does. Painfully. | |
