Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A posterior SC joint dislocation can be a medical emergency as it can potentially compress major blood vessels and nerves in the area, leading to loss of limb function and even death if not promptly addressed. Burner or stinger, AC separation, and anterior SC joint dislocation are serious injuries but typically do not require immediate medical attention.
