This is study to compare the time to diagnosis of glenohumeral joint dislocation using two imaging methods, traditional x-ray and point-of-care ultrasound. Participants who present at the emergency department complaining of shoulder injury and who are suspected of having a possible glenohumeral shoulder dislocation will be eligible for the study. A reduction of the joint will be performed if imaging findings so indicate. All participants will receive a post-reduction x-ray and be referred to appropriate follow-up care.
