- Via forceful internal rotation/adduction (sz, electric shock) or blow to ant shoulder
- Neurovascular and rotator cuff tears are less common than in ant dislocations
Clinical Features
- Prominence of posterior shoulder and ant flattening of normal shoulder contour
- Pt unable to rotate or abduct affected arm
Diagnosis
Imaging
- Scapular "Y" view shows humeral head in posterior position
Differential Diagnosis
Management
