The shoulder joint is one of the most mobile joints in the body. The anatomy of the shoulder joint allows for this mobility, however, it makes it less stable. The instability may allow for the bones of the joint to come partially apart (what doctors call subluxation) or if it is more severe, the bones may come completely apart or dislocate.
