Dislocated shoulder

Often as a result of a traumatic event or, much more rarely, due to a degenerative pathology. If not properly diagnosed and treated, this can lead to relapses over time, as the structures responsible for stability (capsule and ligaments) tend to degenerate with repeated dislocations, resulting in chronic instability of the shoulder.

In the acute phase after a dislocation episode, the pain symptom is very severe, associated with a severe restriction of movement until the dislocation is repositioned using a special manipulation (often performed in the emergency department). In patients with repeated dislocations, there is a symptom of impossibility with the sensation defined by the patient as a "very mobile" shoulder.
