X rays show obvious dislocation of shoulder joint, but with other views it would be easy to comment of the type of dislocation.
Next Steps
Shoulder immobiliser for 3 weeks is the usual norm.
Health Tips
Physiotherapy helps in shoulder strengthening there by avoiding future dislocations. Avoid activities which require over head abduction.
