With shoulder (glenohumeral) – dislocations, the humeral head out of the socket separates; the shift is almost always anterior. Shoulder dislocations account for about half of the major joint dislocations. Shoulder dislocations can be Anterior Posterior Inferior Anterior dislocation of the shoulder dislocations 95% of patients are at ? anterior; The mechanism consists of abduction and external rotation of the upper arm. may associated injuries brachial plexus injuries, rotator cuff (especially in the elderly), his fracture of the greater tuberosity and axillary nerve injury. Shoulder instability and recurrent dislocation are common in patients <30 years. The acromion is projected, and the elbow is kept slightly out of the page; the humeral head is slid forward and downward and can not be palpated on its actual location. The patients are not willing to move the arm. They may have motor and sensory deficits (for example, if the axillary nerve is injured, diminished sensation over the deltoid muscle). True anteroposterior (AP) and armpit X-rays are diagnostic for anterior dislocation and show the humeral head outside of the socket.
