Abstract

Here we present a case with anterior shoulder dislocation with greater tuberosity fracture with anterior Hill-Sachs lesion and shaft of humerus fracture. Repeated attempts for closed reduction with manual manipulation of the dislocated shoulder failed. Under general anesthesia the dislocation was closely reduced by means of Kirchner wires passed through the proximal part of humerus. Humeral shaft fracture was treated by open reduction and internal fixation by locking compressive plate and screws. One year after the operation the patient had nearly full range of motion on her shoulder except slight limitation of the external rotation and flexion.
