Clinical Trial Description

This is a prospective comparison study evaluating the time to diagnosis of glenohumeral joint dislocation using two imaging modalities, traditional x-ray and point-of-care ultrasound.

Eligible participants will be consented by participating physicians and randomized into ultrasound or x-ray groups.
