Shoulder Dislocation: Everything You Need to Know About
Shoulder dislocation is common in people who do intense physical activities like athletes, bodybuilders, and more. However, it doesn’t mean an ordinary person doesn’t suffer from this. Anyone can suffer from this, especially males. It occurs when the humerus (round ball at the top of the upper arm bone) leaves the scapula (the socket in the shoulder blade). In simple terms, the ball of the upper arm ball gets separated from the socket bones. Studies show that more than 1.7% of people suffer from dislocated shoulders every year (worldwide). A dislocated shoulder can also cause damage to the surrounding tissues, such as ligaments, cartilage, muscles, nerves, and more. It can occur in different compartments of the shoulder and can be of different types.
