EP055 - Shoulder Dislocation_ Examination and Management

This podcast is based on clinical scenarios from the official AMC Handbook of Clinical Assessment published by the Australian Medical Council. All cases are used solely for study and discussion. We provide personal learning insights and clinical interpretations to support AMC candidates in developing their clinical reasoning skills. The AMC Handbook is the intellectual property of the Australian Medical Council. To access the official material, please visit the AMC website. This episode outlines a medical scenario for a hospital medical officer, focusing on the examination and management of a young woman with a previously dislocated shoulder. The patient, a 20-year-old competitive basketball player, sustained an anterior shoulder dislocation six months prior, complicated by a nerve injury that has since resolved. The core task involves performing a focused physical examination, discussing findings, and counselling the patient on her desire to return to sports. The case also provides examiner instructions, expectations for candidate performance, and critical errors to avoid, emphasising the importance of assessing axillary nerve function and discussing the likelihood of recurrence with the patient.#AMC #OSCE #ClinicalReasoning #MedicalEducation #IMGs #AustralianMedicalCouncil #ShoulderDislocation #SportsInjury #BasketballInjury #NerveInjury #Rehabilitation #ReturnToSport #AxillaryNerve #InjuryPrevention #PhysicalTherapy #SportsMedicine
