Abstract
Anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint with ipsilateral humerus shaft fracture is a very rare injury. Until July 2006
only 18 cases have been reported in the literature. Here we report a case of Anterior Shoulder dislocation with greater
tuberosity and shaft of humerus fracture. The patient was treated by Open reduction and internal xation of the shaft
fracture followed by closed reduction of the dislocation. A post-operative rehabilitation program was instituted for
complete rehabilitation of the shoulder function.
Key words: Shoulder dislocation, Ipsilateral, Humerus, Fracture, Open reduction.
