The vast majority of shoulder dislocations are anterior, with only 2–5% being posterior dislocations. Potential causes include seizures, electric shock, and shoulder injuries.

A Hill-Sachs lesion is a compression fracture of the posterior lateral humeral head as it strikes the anterior glenoid during an anterior shoulder dislocation. 1 The incidence of a Hill-Sachs ...

The glenoid labrum contributes to the stability of the shoulder by increasing the concavity in which the humeral head glides. Anterior, posterior, and multidirectional shoulder instability have ...
