Abstract

Traumatic dislocations of the shoulder are frequent. The annual incidence is estimated at 11–24/100,000 [1–3]. Data published by Liavaag documents a higher incidence of shoulder dislocations in Oslo, Norway [4]. They report an incidence of about 56.3/100,000. Men show a 2.6 times higher incidence than women (82.2/100,000 versus 30.9/100,000)
