The most common mechanism of injury for a dislocated glenohumeral (GH) joint is an anterior dislocation caused by a combination of shoulder abduction and external rotation, often occurring during activities such as falling onto an outstretched arm or during contact sports. This type of dislocation is frequently associated with trauma that exerts force on the shoulder while it is in a vulnerable position. Anterior dislocations are the most prevalent, accounting for approximately 95% of GH dislocations.
