Abstract: Anterior shoulder dislocation is one of the most common orthopaedic injuries treated in the emergency department. While associated vascular injuries are rare, they can be a potentially devastating complication, usually seen after high-energy or penetrating trauma. Therefore, a complete neurovascular exam is critical on initial presentation. We present the case of a 58-year-old male who experienced severe right upper extremity pain and numbness approximately eight hours after closed reduction of an anterior shoulder dislocation.
