Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Radiology
- Sports Medicine
Background:
- Posterior shoulder dislocation is an uncommon injury, occurring in less than 2% of all shoulder dislocations.
- Diagnosis can be challenging, particularly when the dislocation is in a locked position.
- Misinterpretation of post-reduction radiographs can complicate patient management.
