چکیده

High-energy trauma to the shoulder is associated with multiple injuries and is often difficult to evaluate. One of these complex traumas is the displacement of the humeral head into the thoracic cavity. This study aimed to report a patient who presented after falling three floors. Initially, the patient underwent chest drainage and thoracoscopy to remove the displaced humeral head and, subsequently, underwent delayed artificial humeral head replacement. Hemodynamic stability, systematic evaluation, removal of the humeral head, and individual shoulder reconstruction are recommended for these patients.
