Pathoanatomy of first-time, traumatic, anterior glenohumeral subluxation events.
-
mechanism of anterior dislocations:
- combination of abduction, extension, and a posteriorly directed force applied to the arm;
- humeral head is driven anteriorly, tearing
shoulder capsule, detaching labrum from glenoid, and producing a compression frx of humeral head;
- arm position during the traumatic episode leads to
variations of anterior dislocation:

-
discussion:
- common radiographic changes seen following anterior dislocations, include
Hill Sachs lesion, calcification along the antero-inferior
aspect of the glenoid rim (or fracture of the glenoid rim);
- additional findings include fracture, erosion, blunting of the anterior glenoid rim;
- Initial Treatment of Dislocation:
-
work up for shoulder dislocation:
-
reduction methods:
- Non Operative Treatment:
-
natural history:
- may be indicated for patients w/
multidirectional instability, for voluntary instability, for posterior
glenohumeral instability, & for those who need a supranormal ROM - such as base ball pitchers;
