Gorman DF, Sandow MJ. Posterior shoulder dislocation and humeral head necrosis in a recreational scuba diver with diabetes. Undersea Biomed Res 1992; 19(6):457-461. An insulin-dependent diabetic who was previously a recreational scuba diver suffered a posterior shoulder dislocation after a trivial injury and was subsequently found to have local necrosis of the humeral head. The only definite conclusion that can be reached is that this patient should not dive again.
