Multiple findings: Learn more about unstable shoulder here: http://theshouldercenter.Com/unstable-shoulder.Htm multiple areas of the shoulder can be injured with a shoulder dislocation or even multiple episodes of subluxation/instability. The decision for the best treatment has to be individualized and depends on many factors.
