Isolated ipsilateral shoulder and elbow dislocation
Introduction. Joint dislocation is the loss of congruence of the joint surfaces. This is a relatively common injury of the musculoskeletal injury. Among the large joints, shoulder joint dislocation has the highest incidence of 24/100,000/year, of which 94–97% are anterior, 1% are inferior, and the r...
