I. Description
True shoulder dislocation occurs when the head of the humerus becomes dislodged from the glenoid cavity. It is
the joint that is most prevalent for dislocation. The shoulder normally dislocates anteriorly but it can also be
displaced posteriorly or inferiorly. If the humerus is dislocated once, there is a greater chance that it can later be
dislocated again, especially if the person is 30 years or younger. Many times when a shoulder dislocation occurs,
ligaments and other tissues are damaged and movement of the humerus is highly limited. Once the shoulder is
relocated normal function is usually restored but structures around the glenoid area may still be damaged. The two
most common injuries associated with an anteriorly dislocated shoulder are a Bankart lesion and a Hill-Sachs
lesion. A Bankart lesion occurs when the anterior labrum is torn. A Hill-Sachs lesion takes place when the humeral
head impacts the glenoid fossa causing a fracture of the head of the humerus. These lesions can also occur in the
posterior joint with posterior dislocation, and are known as reverse Bankart and Hill-Sachs lesions.1,2,4

The anatomy of the glenohumeral joint consists of the humeral head of the humerus and the glenoid fossa of the
scapula.
These two structures together create a cavity with a surrounding capsule. Attached to the glenoid cavity is the
glenoid labrum which acts as a fibrocartilaginous bumper between the humeral head and the glenoid fossa.
The capsule is supported by the rotator cuff muscles which are the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, andteres minor.
The deltoid muscle and the biceps tendon also offer some support for the capsule.
The superior glenohumeral ligament (SGHL), middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL), and inferior glenohumeral
ligament (IGHL) are three structures that provide support as well.3
III. Prevalence & Etiology
Anterior dislocations occur in 98% of shoulder dislocations. The other 2% of shoulder dislocations take place
posteriorly. The majority of dislocations occur from a traumatic incidence. Forced external rotation and abduction of
the humerus is the most prevalent cause of anterior dislocation. About 5% occur atraumatically, usually because of
excessive laxity of the capsule. Recurrence of dislocation can also be problematic. In people aged 20 years or
younger, dislocation can recur in 66% to 100% of cases. For people between 20 and 40 years old 13% to 63% of
dislocations recur and for people 40 years and over 0% to 16% dislocate their shoulder again.4
IV. Clinical Presentation
Most patients will state that they heard a popping sound at the time of injury. Anterior dislocation is the most
common form of shoulder dislocation and normally the patient will have had their arm abducted and externally
rotated at the time of injury. It may also present this way in clinic if it has not been relocated. They may have also
felt numbness or tingling down the arms after injury if a nerve was affected. If the shoulder was not put back into
place, then AROM will be decreased and painful, and the humeral head may be palpable anteriorly. Brusing may be
visible if blood vessels were ruptured. With a posterior dislocation, ROM and strength tests are usually normal
unless a rotator cuff muscle or nerve has been damaged. Crepitus may be present when the shoulder is internally
rotated and the posterior joint line may be tender to palpation. If the humeral head has not been relocated, the
humerus may appear internally rotated and will not be able to externally rotate.1,2,5
V. Diagnostic Tests
With both anterior and posterior shoulder instability, an anteroposterior (AP) view and a Y-view image should be
obtained. The AP view can show anterior dislocation and a reverse Hill-Sachs sign for posterior dislocation. The Y-
view can show a Hill-Sachs lesion for anterior dislocation and a posterior dislocation.6,7

CT scans can also be used to assess the integrity of the labrum. An MRI shows Bankart lesions and any soft tissue
injuries.6,7

VI. Special Orthopedic Tests
Anterior Instability
The three tests that are most reliable for anterior shoulder instability are the apprehension, relocation, and anterior
release tests.8,9
Apprehension Test Pain or apprehension indicate a positive test.
Relocation Test Decreased pain or apprehension indicate a positive test.
Anterior Release Test Pain or apprehension upon release of the humeral head indicate a positive test.

Posterior Instability
The two most reliable tests for posterior instability are the posterior stress test and the jerk test.5
Posterior Stress Test (Posterior Apprehension Test) Pain or apprehension indicates a positive test.
Jerk Test A clunk, or jerk, upon axial load or horizontal adduction indicates a positive test. Another clunk mayalso occur upon relocation (horizontal abduction).
VII. Conservative Treatment
Immobilization
If immobilization is the sole treatment, the arm is usually immobilized anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks. Combined with
exercise, it will usually be immobilized for a lesser time period. For anterior dislocations, the humerus is normally
placed in a traditional internally rotated position. However, new studies are being conducted which may show thatplacing the humerus in an externally rotated position may be more beneficial for healing especially if a Bankart
lesion is present. For posterior dislocations the humerus is normally placed in a slightly extended and externally
rotated position.4,5,10
Exercise
Exercise is normally used in conjunction with immobilization. The shoulder will usually be immobilized for 1-3
weeks. During this time period, wrist and elbow range of motion exercises can be performed so that it is not lost.
After immobilization, range of motion of the shoulder can begin followed by strengthening. In the case of anterior

dislocation, strengthening programs should emphasize the internal rotators, adductors, scapular muscles. For
posterior dislocation, programs to strengthen the external rotators, posterior deltoid, and scapular muscles are
performed. Conservative protocols may take up to 3 months for full recovery.4,5,10

VIII. Surgical Treatment
For an anterior dislocation, open or arthroscopic surgeries may be performed. During an open Bankart repair, the
subscapularis is detached so that the labrum can be repaired on the anterior glenoid. The shoulder is reduced and
sutures are applied to hold it in place. In an arthroscopic procedure, portals are made and the anterior labrum is
reattached and the humerus is reduced.
For a posterior dislocation, open surgery or arthroscopic surgery may be performed as well. In an open
posteroinferior capsular shift, the humerus is placed in 20 degrees of abduction. The incision is made in the
posterior axilla. The humerus is placed back into the capsule and the posterior capsule is repaired. During
arthroscopic surgery, three or four portals are used anteriorly and posteriorly. If a reverse Bankart lesion is present
it is then repaired with sutures. The humerus is placed back into the capsule and the portals are stitched back up.
Both open and arthroscopic surgeries have their advantages and disadvantages. With open surgery there is alesser rate of redislocation. However, there is usually a greater loss in external rotation than with arthroscopic
surgery. Treatment following surgery is basically the same as a conservative protocol consisting of range of motion
and strengthening exercises for the shoulder. Depending on the type of surgery, full recovery time may take
anywhere from 4 to 9 months.4,5,10
