    AbstractThe case of a 51-year-old patient is presented, with a humeral shaft fracture in combination with an ipsilateral reverse Hill-Sachs lesion, presumably after posterior shoulder dislocation as a result of an electrical accident followed by a fall from a ladder. After corresponding diagnostics, osteosynthesis of the shaft fracture was performed with a locked antegrade intramedullary nail. Simultaneously the reverse Hill-Sachs lesion was elevated und supplemented with the bone core that accrues during drilling of the nail entrance. In the follow-up period good fragment alignment, persistent joint stability and freedom of pain could be observed. On the basis of this case and the current literature the injury mechanism and potential therapy alternatives are discussed.
