==Epidemiology== Each joint in the body can be dislocated, however, there are common sites where most dislocations occur. The most common dislocated parts of the body are discussed as follows: * [[Dislocated shoulder]] ** Anterior shoulder dislocation is the most common type of shoulder dislocation, accounting for at least 90% of shoulder dislocations.<ref name="Khiami S51–S57" /><ref>{{Cite book | vauthors = Breed M, Fitch RW |title=The Atlas of Emergency Medicine | edition = 5th |publisher=McGraw-Hill |year=2021
