A shoulder dislocation usually occurs as a result of force to a joint. The bone is pushed out of the socket, which may cause damage to the surrounding ligaments, tendons, and nerves.

Anterior dislocation is usually the result of direct or indirect trauma, with the arm forced into abduction and external rotation. It is the most frequent type of shoulder dislocation (represents more than 90% of injuries).

In posterior dislocation, the humeral head is forced posteriorly in internal rotation. Posterior dislocations account for 2%–4% of all shoulder dislocations. In adults, convulsive disorder is the most common cause. Electrocution is a classic but uncommon cause of posterior shoulder dislocation. Bilateral dislocations are not infrequent.

• Hill-Sach lesions (describes a characteristic defect of the posterolateral surface of the humeral head, and represents a compression fracture)
• Labral lesions (i.e., Bankart lesion)
• Bony glenoid lesions – Osseous anterior glenoid rim fractures (44%), bony Bankart lesions, fracture of the greater tuberosity
• Intraarticular loose body
• Rotator cuff lesions – Supraspinatus tears or subscapularis tears
