Dynamic posterior stabilization of shoulder hemiarthroplasty in long-standing neglected posterior dislocation of the glenohumeral joint

Posterior dislocation of the shoulder joint.

Recurrent posterior dislocation of the shoulder joint.

Recurrent, locked posterior glenohumeral dislocation requiring hemiarthroplasty and posterior bone block with humeral head autograft.

This article describes the case of a 77-year-old man with a recurrent posterior shoulder dislocation, treated with humeral hemiarthroplasty and reconstruction of a large posteroinferior glenoid defect with a bone block created from humeral head autograft. On examination, the patient's left arm was held in internal rotation against his stomach, with minimal swelling about the deltoid. His should...

Shoulder kinesthesia after anterior glenohumeral joint dislocation.

The purpose of this study was to examine kinesthesia in normal (uninjured) shoulders and in shoulders with a history of glenohumeral joint dislocations. Both shoulders of 10 healthy subjects and 8 subjects with a history of unilateral anterior dislocation were tested for accuracy of angular reproduction, threshold to sensation of movement, and end-range reproduction using a motor-driven shoulde...
