The shoulder is dislocated, with anterior dislocation of the humeral head relative to the glenoid, in keeping with an anterior glenohumeral joint dislocation. No fracture evident on this single Y view.
Case Discussion
Glenohumeral dislocations can be anterior or posterior and the Y view can aid in the differentiation. Associated bony Bankart and Hill-Sach defects should be also assessed for.
