This video explains shoulder dislocation, the most commonly dislocated joint in the human body. It covers the anatomy that makes the shoulder prone to dislocation, the three types of dislocation (anterior, posterior, and luxatio erecta), the sub-types of anterior dislocation, clinical features, special tests, diagnosis, treatment and reduction techniques, associated pathologies, and complications.
What you’ll learn?
- Why the shoulder joint is prone to dislocation
- Types of shoulder dislocation: anterior, posterior, and luxatio erecta
- Sub-types of anterior dislocation: preglenoid, subcoracoid, and subclavicular
- Mechanism of injury and clinical features
- Special tests: Dugas’ sign, Hamilton ruler test, and Calloway’s test
- Diagnosis, treatment, and reduction techniques (Kocher’s and Hippocrates methods)
- Associated pathologies: Bankart lesion and Hill-Sachs lesion
- Complications: axillary nerve injury and recurrent dislocation
