Abstract
Shoulder fracture dislocation associated with ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture was an uncommon combination. We reported on a case of anterior shoulder fracture-dislocation and ipsilateral fracture of the shaft of the humerus. A male aged 37 years old sustained a motorcycle accident. There was deformity and painful swelling of the left shoulder and arm. No neurovascular deficit was found and all other clinical findings were normal. After failure of closed reduction of the dislocation, operation was undertaken. Under general anesthesia, open reduction of the dislocation was performed and the humeral shaft & humeral head fracture was treated internal fixation with plate and screws. The fractures and dislocation healed without any problems at 6 to 12 months postoperatively. At final follow-up,the patient had returned to work and regained normal mobility.
