ANTERIOR DISLOCATION OF SHOULDER WITH IPSILATERALFRACTURES OF THE PROXIMAL, MID-SHAFT AND DISTALHUMERUS: RARE COMPLEX INJURY (CASE REPORT)

Abstract

Dislocation of the shoulder joint with fractures of the humerus on the same side is rare; the literature related to this rare
injury is limited to few case reports. We present a case of a 43-year-old, who suffered from a job-related accident and
sustained fractures of midshaft and distal humerus associated to ipsilateral anterior shoulder dislocation and fracture of
greater tuberosity; after reduction of the anterior shoulder dislocation. The treatment was surgical and demonstrated a
successful outcome at one year follow-up.
