Anterior Shoulder Dislocation, Anterior-Posterior view
The anterior dislocation is characterized by subcoracoid position of the humeral head in the anterior-posterior view. The glenohumeral joint is the most commonly dislocated joint in the body. Anterior dislocations are usually caused by a fall, but can occur spontaneously; they account for approximately 95% of all shoulder dislocations.
