Open reduction through a posterior incision in the surgical treatment of shoulder posterior dislocation associated with proximal humeral fractures.
We explored the surgical technique of reducing the humeral head and repairing the fractures through a combined approach in the treatment of this complex injury. ⋯ The dislocated humeral head can be reduced through a posterior approach, while fractures can be reduced and fixed through a deltopectoral approach. This technique has the advantages of simplicity and its minimally invasive approach for reducing the dislocation.
