Shoulder Dislocation

The shoulder is an anatomically unstable joint as it is optimised for mobility rather than stability, allowing the hand to be placed in the very large number of positions required for optimal function. The shoulder socket (glenoid) is relatively small compared to the very large humeral head, leading to problems for the muscular and neurological systems as they struggle to keep the ball of the humerus centred on the socket during movement. The capsule of the shoulder, the fibrous bag which surrounds the whole shoulder joint, is relatively lax to allow for the large ranges of movement. This means it and its ligaments have little control over the joint and it relies on muscle control.

Dislocation is usually caused by a fall on the arm, especially if the arm in a position of abduction and lateral rotation, the position adopted by the .hands up!. posture. This is the most vulnerable position for the shoulder to dislocate anteriorly, i.e. the ball comes out of joint to the front. Immediate severe pain is the first symptom with the patient holding their arm in a protective position. Medical help is usually required to relocate the joint and there can be damage to the axillary nerve which control the deltoid muscle.
