Anterior Shoulder dislocation

Structures @ risk for injury with an anterior shoulder dislocation?

• Axillary nerve and posterior circumflex artery   (Runs together)
• Supraspinatous tendon
• Anterior glenohumeral ligaments and glenoid labrum separation from the articular surface of the anterior glenoid neck (AKA Bankhart lesion)
• Posterolateral humeral head defect (due to abrasion against the anterior rim of the glenoid) (AKA Hill-Sack lesion)
