Abstract

Introduction: Posterior shoulder dislocation associated with fracture of the lesser tuberosity is considered as a ra trauma. It can lead to the locked shoulder with a very high possibility of unsuccessful closed reduction. Case Presentation: In this case, the patient was a 30-year-old male motorcyclist with the right shoulder injury who rior shoulder dislocation with lesser tuberosity fracture. Early attempt for closed reduction was unsuccessful and led t brachial plexus injury. This patient is treated by open reduction and fracture fixation with screw. Subscapularis partial r repaired. Finally, full stability was achieved. Conclusions: Fracture fixation plays a crucial role in stability after reduction. Several techniques have been suggested treatment including fixation with screw and the modified McLaughlin technique. Similar to the previous case reports, a our experience, careful attention to the fracture concomitant with posterior dislocation is of the utmost importance ed Pro
