Abstract
Dislocation of the shoulder with ipsilateral shaft fracture is an uncommon, but serious injury. I present one case report and the guidelines used for treatment. The method employed was Hackethal's pins through open reduction. The dislocation was reduced during surgery. The fracture and dislocation healed without any problems, and there was no damage to the radial nerve. After a recent follow-up, the patient was allowed to return to work without restrictions, and he has regained normal mobility.
