Dislocation of Shoulder Joint
As the most mobile joint in the body, the shoulder joint is inherently unstable which makes it susceptible to dislocation. Dislocations are often caused by a direct blow to, or fall on, an outstretched arm. Common symptoms include: significant pain along the arm, inability to move the arm from its current position, numbness of the arm, and the shoulder is visibly displaced.

In 2003, the Court in Ernst v Quinonez, 2003 CanLII 20579 (ON SC) awarded the injured party $25,000 for injuries that included a dislocated shoulder.
