The anterior dislocation is character-ized by subcoracoid position of the humeral head in the anterior-posterior view. The glenohumeral joint is the most commonly dislocated joint in the body. Anterior dislocations are usually caused by a fall, but can occur spontaneously; they account for approximately 95% of all shoulder dislocations.
