    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Traumatology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Shoulder dislocations are common, but posterior dislocations are rare and frequently misdiagnosed.
    • Understanding the mechanisms of posterior shoulder dislocation is crucial for timely diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • Posterior shoulder dislocations result from direct anterior blows or axial forces on a flexed arm.
    • Violent muscle contractions, such as from seizures or electrical shock, can also cause posterior dislocations.

    Findings:

    • Posterior dislocations are often linked with posterior glenoid rim fractures.
    • Anterior humeral head compression fractures are also commonly observed.

    Implications:

    • Clinical vigilance and comprehensive physical and radiographic assessments are essential for accurate diagnosis.
