• #1 Diagnosing Shoulder Dislocation | NYU Langone Health

  https://nyulangone.org/conditions/shoulder-dislocation/diagnosis

  Shoulder dislocation occurs when the ball-shaped head of the upper arm bone, called the humerus, is dislodged from the shoulder socket, called the glenoid. […] Symptoms of shoulder dislocation are evident right away. You may feel a popping sensation as the joint dislocates, as well as a sharp pain in the shoulder or pain radiating down the arm. […] Sports medicine doctors and specialists at NYU Langone Orthopedic Center diagnose shoulder dislocations based on your symptoms, medical history, and the results of diagnostic imaging tests. […] A detailed description of your symptoms and medical history helps doctors determine the nature of your shoulder injury. […] Doctors often recommend X-rays to obtain more information about a dislocated shoulder. […] MRI scans use a magnetic field and radio waves to create computerized, three-dimensional images of soft tissues inside the body. […] CT scans use X-rays and a computer program to create two- and three-dimensional images of the shoulder.

  The physical examination should confirm a suspected dislocation. Range of motion is diminished and painful. Anterior dislocation, the anterior arm is abducted and externally rotated. In thin patients, there may be a prominent humeral head felt anteriorly, and the void can be seen posteriorly in the shoulder. […] Carefully examine the patient for neurovascular compromise. Axillary nerve injury is most common. The axillary nerve innervates deltoid and teres minor and provides sensation to lateral shoulder. Axillary nerve compromise presents in over 40% of dislocations, but usually, resolves with reduction. Although dislocation is often obvious, pre-reduction imaging for associated fractures can be useful and should be done when trauma is known. Clinically important fractures occur in about 25% of dislocations. […] Shoulder dislocations are best managed by an interprofessional team that also includes therapists and orthopedic nurses. When evaluating patients with shoulder dislocations, clinicians need to be aware of the potential of associated neurovascular injury.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK441919/

  Posterior dislocations are often challenging to diagnose, as symptoms may be subtle, and conventional radiographs can miss the injury. […] A missed diagnosis can lead to recurrent dislocations, predisposing patients to degenerative changes in the shoulder joint. […] Identify the diagnostic approach for evaluating posterior shoulder dislocation injuries. […] A 3-view shoulder series is standard when evaluating a painful shoulder. Anterior-posterior (AP) and scapular „Y” view radiographs should be obtained to assess for posterior shoulder dislocations; however, approximately 50% are initially missed on standard AP views. […] The axillary lateral view is the most accurate radiographic image to diagnose a posterior shoulder dislocation.

• #2 Shoulder Dislocations Overview – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK459125/

  Shoulder dislocations represent 50 percent of all major joint dislocations, with anterior dislocation being most common. The shoulder is an unstable joint due to a shallow glenoid that only articulates with a small part of the humeral head. The shoulder joint is the most regularly dislocated joint in the body. The shoulder can dislocate forward, backward, or downward, and completely or partially, though most occur anteriorly. Fibrous tissue that joins the bones can be stretched or torn, complicating a dislocation. It takes a strong force, such as a blow to the shoulder to pull the bones out of place. Extreme rotation can pop the shoulder out of its socket. Contact sports injuries often cause a dislocated shoulder. Trauma from motor vehicle accidents and falls are also a common source of dislocation. This activity describes the pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of shoulder dislocations and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the care of affected patients.

[…] Posterior dislocations occur when the head of the humerus dislocates out of the back of the joint and account for around 3% of shoulder dislocations. […] If you have dislocated your shoulder then you are likely to have damage to the surrounding ligaments, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels and possibly even fractures. […] Most shoulder dislocations also result in glenoid labrum tears (Bankart lesions). […] Dislocated shoulders result from falling onto an outstretched arm, twisting your arm, or from direct impact on the shoulder.

  This decision is more common when there have been multiple dislocations, there is extensive bony and ligamentous damage raising the risk of recurrence, or if the person is returning to contact sport at a high level/high risk activity. […] An acute shoulder dislocation might be managed with rehabilitation only (non-surgically) or surgically (with post-operative rehabilitation). […] Some common concurrent injuries that may affect return to activity, or indicate an elevated risk of recurrence include: Bony injury to the socket, called a Bankart Lesion or Reverse Bankart Lesion, Bony injury to the head of Humerus, called a Hills-Sach’s or Reverse Hills-Sachs Lesion, Humeral Avulsion (complete tear) of the Glenohumeral ligament (HAGL).

  Anterior shoulder dislocation can occur in connection with a traumatic event or as a result of an anatomical predisposition. […] If close to normal function is not achieved within a couple of weeks, the patient can be referred for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to screen for damage to the stabilising structures and to diagnose any additional injuries. […] MRI scans are widely used to assess shoulder pathology and have a high sensitivity to injury to the rotator cuff and other non-osseous stabilising structures in the shoulder joint. […] The joint capsule and labrum will almost always be damaged in cases of first-time shoulder dislocation. […] A damaged labrum reduces the height of the glenoid rim by 80%. […] Approximately one-third of patients with anterior shoulder dislocation experience a fracture of the anterior glenoid rim.

• #2 Can a Dislocated Shoulder Cause a Rotator Cuff Tear? | Shoulder Doctor | Bill Sterett, MD — Dr. Bill Sterett

  https://drsterett.com/sports-medicine-blog/shoulder-dislocation-with-rotator-cuff-tear

  A shoulder dislocation occurs when the upper arm bone (humerus) pops out of the shoulder socket (glenoid). This can happen due to trauma, such as a fall or a direct blow to the shoulder. When a shoulder dislocation is accompanied by a rotator cuff tear, the injury becomes more complicated. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder. A tear in the rotator cuff can result in significant pain and loss of function to the shoulder. […] The question, „can a dislocated shoulder cause a rotator cuff tear?” is often asked by patients. The answer is yes. The force that dislocates the shoulder can indeed cause a tear in the rotator cuff. Understanding this relationship is vital for proper diagnosis and treatment. […] Symptoms of a shoulder dislocation with a rotator cuff tear include severe shoulder pain, swelling, inability to move the shoulder, and a visible deformity. If you experience these symptoms, it is crucial to seek medical attention immediately. […] Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and imaging tests such as X-rays or an MRI. Dr. Sterett notes, Imaging is essential to determine the extent of the injury. An MRI is particularly useful in identifying the presence and severity of a rotator cuff tear.

  Recurrent uncomplicated anterior shoulder dislocation can be diagnosed clinically. […] Signs of neurovascular injury or fracture-dislocation on clinical examination should prompt urgent orthopedic consultation. […] The risk of concomitant fracture is increased in patients with age 40 years, first-time dislocation, or a severe injury mechanism (e.g., MVC, fall 1 flight of stairs, or interpersonal violence). […] Axillary nerve injury is common with inferior shoulder dislocation. Document signs of axillary nerve palsy prior to manipulation and reduce without delay. […] Goal: confirm dislocation and exclude fracture. […] Obtain a Y view and/or axillary view in addition to the AP view to reduce the risk of missing or misclassifying shoulder dislocations (especially posterior shoulder dislocation).

• #2 Dislocated Shoulder – Diagnosis, Causes, Treatment & Rehabilitation

  https://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/acute-shoulder-injuries/dislocated-shoulder

  Immediate treatment for a dislocated shoulder has two stages. […] A doctor confirms your dislocated shoulder and carries out a reduction (puts it back into place). […] Reduction is the medical term used to describe relocating a dislocated bone back into the right position. […] The sooner your doctor reduces your shoulder the easier it will be to reduce it. […] Your surgeon usually operates as soon as possible after your injury. […] Evidence suggests that young, active adults between the ages of 15 and 25 benefit from surgical reduction for a first-time anterior dislocation. […] Unfortunately, recurrent dislocations are frequent, especially in younger athletes. […] Treatment following a closed reduction is often referred to as conservative treatment. […] Your shoulder will need extensive rehabilitation to regain mobility and strength.

• #3 Shoulder dislocation | Radiology Reference Article | Radiopaedia.org

  https://radiopaedia.org/articles/shoulder-dislocation?lang=us

  The shoulder dislocation (more accurately termed a glenohumeral joint dislocation) involves separation of the humerus from the glenoid of the scapula at the glenohumeral joint. […] A shoulder x-ray series is sufficient in almost all cases to make the diagnosis, although CT and MR are often required to assess for the presence of subtle fractures of the glenoid rim or ligamentous/tendinous injuries respectively. […] Anterior and inferior dislocations are usually simple diagnoses, with the humeral head and outline of the glenoid being incongruent. […] Point of care ultrasound is an additional modality that may be used to diagnose glenohumeral joint dislocations, and may also be utile throughout acute management, facilitating potential intra-articular administration of local anesthetics and/or dynamic confirmation of reduction.

  Physical examination of the shoulder will begin with an inspection. In an anterior dislocation, the shoulder appears to look „squared off,” with a loss of the normal rounded appearance of the shoulder caused by the deltoid muscle. […] Plain X-rays may be taken to confirm the diagnosis of shoulder dislocation and to make certain there are no broken bones associated with the dislocation. […] Since the body is 3-D and X-rays are 2-D, at least two X-rays are taken to be able to accurately assess where the humeral head is located — anteriorly (in front) or posteriorly (behind) in relation to the glenoid. […] In certain circumstances, (often on the athletic field) if a health care professional is present at the time of injury, an attempt may be made to reduce or relocate the shoulder immediately without X-rays being taken.

• #3 Chronic Shoulder Instability and Dislocation – OrthoInfo – AAOS

  https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases–conditions/chronic-shoulder-instability/

  Shoulder instability occurs when the head of the upper arm bone is forced out of the shoulder socket. This typically happens as a result of a sudden injury, such as a fall or accident. […] Once the ligaments, tendons, and muscles around the shoulder become loose or torn, dislocations can occur repeatedly. Chronic shoulder instability is the persistent inability of these tissues to keep the arm centered in the shoulder socket. […] Your doctor may order imaging tests to help confirm your diagnosis and identify any other problems. […] X-rays will show any injuries to the bones that make up your shoulder joint. […] An MRI provides detailed images of soft tissues. It may help your doctor identify injuries to the ligaments and tendons surrounding your shoulder joint. […] Surgery is offered to patients with repeated dislocations to repair torn or stretched ligaments so the ligaments are better able to hold the shoulder joint in place.

  Shoulder dislocation occurs when the upper arm bone (humerus) is knocked out of its normal position in the socket by an unusually large force. […] A shoulder dislocation is an emergency medical situation that can potentially damage any or all of the structures in and around your shoulder. […] All shoulder dislocations should be treated as emergencies. […] After a thorough history and physical examination, your physician will usually order shoulder X-rays to assist with the diagnosis of a dislocation and to rule out the presence of any associated fractures and injuries. […] Once the diagnosis of a dislocated shoulder has been made, your physician will proceed to put back in place (reduce) your dislocated shoulder. […] To help ensure proper healing, it is critical to have your shoulder reduced as soon as possible. […] The future health of the shoulder may depend on the duration of time that the shoulder is dislocated. […] Surgery to reconstruct the damaged soft-tissue structures of the shoulder is indicated if non-operative treatment has failed or if the risk of recurrent dislocation is high.
