Open management of neglected inferior dislocation of the shoulder with proximal humeral fracture in an adolescentDOI: 10.1007/s11751-012-0151-6 Keywords: Fracture,Inferior dislocation,Bone shortening Abstract: Neglected dislocation of the shoulder is a rare condition with some cases of anterior and posterior dislocation being reported. We report a case with a fracture dislocation of the proximal humerus with the dislocated head lying inferior to the glenoid. We also report on the surgical management of a case with this extremely rare condition which required shortening of the distal fragment to reduce tissue tension.
