What type of dislocation does Dr. Glen Humoral most commonly see in his practice?

The most commonly seen type of dislocation in Dr. Glen Humoral's practice is the anterior glenohumeral (GH) dislocation. This type of dislocation occurs when the head of the humerus is displaced forward out of the shoulder joint, which is the most frequent direction for shoulder dislocations.

Several factors contribute to the prevalence of anterior dislocations. The shoulder joint has a high range of motion, making it inherently less stable. The anatomical structure of the joint and the surrounding ligaments can predispose individuals to this type of dislocation, especially during activities that involve abduction and external rotation.

In clinical practice, witnessing a considerable number of anterior dislocations aligned with the mechanisms of injury and patient demographics (such as age and activity level) supports this observation. Anterior dislocations also tend to occur more frequently in sports-related injuries, which often involve dynamic movements that stress the shoulder joint. Thus, it is understandable why Dr. Glen Humoral would encounter anterior GH dislocations most often in his practice.
