INTRODUCTION The spectrum of pathoanatomic lesions encountered in anterior shoulder dislocation is broad. There could be a presence of loose bodies, chondral and osteochondral, in the shoulder joint and also concomitant rotator cuff partial tears resulting from acute and chronic shoulder instability. CASE REPORT We present one case report of a 46-year-old male Chinese with an uncommon case of...

More than 200 different operations have been described for the treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder. The Latarjet procedure employs rerouting of the osteotomised coracoid process with its attached conjoined tendon through a split in the substance of subscapularis and fixed to the antero inferior aspect of glenoid rim. Since 2011 Latarjet procedure was performed on 30 patients...

Ipsilateral dislocation of the shoulder and elbow joints is a rare and complex injury. During the last 25 years, only 3 cases have been reported in the literature. We report a 50-year-old woman who suffered ipsilateral elbow and shoulder dislocation with contralateral comminuted humeral fracture. Both shoulder and elbow joints were reduced, but the elbow was dislocated subsequently at follow-up...

ABSTRACT Simultaneous ipsilateral shoulder and elbow joint dislocation is a rare injury. In most reported cases, shoulder joint dislocation was missed and diagnosed at a later time. We present the case of a 30-year-old male who dislocated his ipsilateral shoulder and elbow joint following a motor vehicle accident. Keeping a high index of suspicion, radiographs of both joints were obtained. Unde...

Brachial plexus injury is a rare complication of anterior dislocation of the shoulder: nine cases have been reported in the literature. We report a unique case of anterior dislocation of the shoulder with associated brachial plexus palsy involving the posterior and medial cords. This is the first reported case of such an injury. Previous case reports of brachial plexus palsy in association with...

Introduction: Posterior shoulder dislocation associated with fracture of the lesser tuberosity is considered as a rare shoulder 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 had posterior shoulder dislocation with lesser ...

INTRODUCTION Shoulder dislocations can cause acute and chronic instabilities that need to be addressed in order to restore joint functioning. The transfer of the coracoid process has become a feasible surgical procedure in patients with shoulder instability. Several concomitant injuries after recurrent dislocations have been described. CASE PRESENTATION A 32-year-old German man presented to o...

Posterior shoulder dislocation is an extremely rare injury. A radiograph of the dislocated shoulder is generally accepted as normal owing to several traps. Therefore if the clinician is not suspicious, this injury can easily be overlooked. Most of the cases described in the literature were overlooked dislocations reported as case reports or series. We aimed to present a case of sustained poster...

Five cases of anterior shoulder dislocation are reported. The dislocations were reduced quickly, painlessly and without the use of drugs using the 'Cunningham technique.' The practice and theory of the technique are described. The 'Cunningham technique' is a useful single operator method of reducing anterior shoulder dislocations. Further research is being undertaken to reproduce the results in...
