Abstract

Pathological glenohumeral joint dislocation due to long-standing rheumatoid synovitis in a 75 years old patient is described. Operative findings showed a large defect in the posterolateral portion of the humeral head and complete destruction of the labrum. The cause of shoulder dislocation in the wake of rheumatoid inflammation is discussed.
