Traumatic shoulder fracture-dislocation in a 7-year-old child: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION In contrast to adults, traumatic glenohumeral dislocation is a rarely observed condition among children. In some cases, success in durable reduction with conservative methods, and achieving lasting treatment, may not be possible. CASE PRESENTATION In this study, the case of a 7-year-old Turkish girl with a Salter-Harris type II fracture and glenohumeral dislocation of the proximal humerus due to a fall from a height of 1.5 meters who underwent open reduction surgery is presented along with a review of the literature. CONCLUSION Orthopedic surgeons should consider glenohumeral dislocation which is an extremely rare condition when they encounter proximal humerus fractures in pediatric trauma.
