Abstract:
Dislocation of the shoulder after intramuscular injection antibiotic(s) is rare and this conditon was limit described in literature. Our purposes were: (1) determining the clinical symptoms, X-ray and CT findings; and (2) determining the indications and the surgical technique and evaluation of the surgical result. Material and methods: 62 children (29 females, 33 males) aged from 4 to 16 years were included. Clinical and X- ray findings were analysed for anterosuperior subluxation or dislocation of humeral head. The patients were operated to release of origin or insretion of the mild Deltoid muscle or Z plasty of this one. Surgical procedures provided good result in 75.3 percent, fair in 24.7 percent and there were no infection or neuromuscular complication in these cases. Conclusions: This condition always resulted from repeated Deltoid intramuscular injection. The surgical treatment with resection of fibrous portions constantly gives relief of symptoms and provides good function.
