Abstract

Posterior dislocation of the shoulder is a rare clinical and radiological entity. It accounts for less than 2 % of all dislocations of the shoulder. The method of treatment is determined by the size of the defect and the duration of the dislocation.
We present a case of a 66-year-old woman with unrecognized posterior dislocation of the shoulder after falling from a bicycle. Following a CT scan we performed an open reposition of the humeroscapular joint and transposition of the upper third of subscapularis tendon into the humeral head defect. Ten months after surgery we found a good range of motion and the patient is very satisfied with the final result of the surgical treatment.
