Shoulder dislocation in children is a common injury in children under 5 years old. Shoulder dislocation in children occurs when the radius bone of the arm below the elbow is dislocated from the humerus joint. Children are very susceptible to shoulder dislocation during activities. Shoulder dislocation in children is painful and requires proper care from parents.

A dislocated shoulder is an injury in which the upper arm bone pops out of its socket, a part of the shoulder blade. If you suspect your child has a dislocated shoulder, see a doctor right away.
