The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body and shoulder dislocations form about 50 percent of joint dislocations, with anterior dislocation being the most common type. Dislocations occur when the bones are pulled of their place in the socket by a strong force such as a blow to the joint or extreme rotation. Common causes of shoulder dislocation are - contact sports, falls, and motor vehicle accidents. Physicians can rely on medical billing and coding services to report the condition correctly on claims and receive reimbursement for services.
