Abstract:
Dislocation of the shoulder with ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture is very rare, but serious injury that requires emergent care. There have been approximately 20 cases reported in the English literature, but it has never been reported in Korea. We report a case of dislocation of right shoulder with ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture which was successfully treated by closed reduction of the shoulder under general anesthesia and internal fixation with antegrade interlocking intramedullary nailing for the humeral shaft fracture.
