Summary
In this procedure, the provider performs an open treatment of an acute shoulder dislocation, which is an abnormal separation of a joint. He makes an incision to open the shoulder joint and reduces the dislocation. The provider performs this service most often for a posterior shoulder dislocation, where the humeral head dislodges from the joint and exits toward the back rather than an anterior shoulder dislocation, where the humeral exits the joint and moves toward the front of the body.
