Description: The shoulder is the most commonly dislocated large joint seen in the emergency department (ED), and anterior dislocations account for 90-98% of cases.1 Most dislocations are straightforward and easily reducible in the ED using one of several techniques. However, difficult cases do occur, and clinicians need to be mindful of coincident injuries and complications.Elisa M Aponte, MD & Curt E Dill, MD Updated: Aug 2, 2009
