INFERIOR FRACTURE DISLOCATION OF THE SHOULDER IN A FOUR YEAR OLD GIRL: REPORT OF A RARE CASE
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 20
Abstract
Fracture-dislocations of the shoulder are extremely rare in children. We report a case of inferior fracture-dislocation of the proximal humeral epiphysis in a 4-year-old girl. A Pubmed search did not reveal such a dislocation in children less than five years of age. Closed reduction is not always possible when there is a significant displacement or soft tissue interposition. The inferior fracturedislocation was successfully treated by an open reduction and Kirschner wire fixation.
