Usually when one talks about shoulder luxation, one talks about posterior or anterior luxation. I have a patient who was thrown onto the beach by a huge wave during surfing. He landed on his shoulder, and the joint luxated. Is it possible to have a sort of caudal luxation, or are all luxations either anterior or posterior? In case of an eventual caudal luxation, does anybody know what structures are being stretched or injured in such a situation? Any suggestions on exercise programmes to increase shoulder stability in a case like this?
