Dislocations and subluxations:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Dislocations and subluxations produce deformity around the joint, change the involved extremity’s length, impair joint mobility, and cause point tenderness. When the injury results from trauma, it’s extremely painful and commonly accompanies joint surface fractures. Even in the absence of concomitant fractures, the displaced bone may damage surrounding muscles, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels and may cause bone necrosis, especially if reduction is delayed.

Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Shoulder dislocation:
The shoulder can dislocate either forward, backward, or
downward. Not only does the arm appear out of position when the shoulder
dislocates, but the dislocation also produces pain. Muscle spasms may
increase the intensity of pain. Swelling, numbness, weakness, and
bruising are likely to develop. Problems seen with a dislocated shoulder
are tearing of the ligaments or tendons reinforcing the joint capsule
and, less commonly, nerve damage. Doctors usually diagnose a dislocation
by a physical examination, and x rays may be taken to confirm the
diagnosis and to rule out a related fracture. (Source: excerpt from Questions and Answers about Shoulder Problems: NIAMS)
