Avis and Power provide a review of the diagnosis and treatment of axillary nerve injuries associated with shoulder dislocation. Injury to the axillary nerve is present in 15 to 48% of shoulder dislocations. Risk factors associated with a higher-grade axillary injury include concurrent fracture to the humerus or scapula, vascular injury, a delay in shoulder reduction longer than 2 hours, and neurological deficit or neurologic pain in the axillary nerve distribution.
