Right shoulder: mild deformity at the shoulder contour with. tenderness and inability to rotate the shoulder joint. No history of chronic diseases. Vitally stable.
Patient Data
Anterior dislocation of the right shoulder.
Case Discussion
The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the body and this makes it more likely to dislocate. Although the shoulder joint regains its movement within weeks after correcting the dislocation, it becomes easy to repeat the dislocation again (recurrent shoulder dislocation) and avascular necrosis.
