Management of posterior fracture-dislocations of the shoulder.

Posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder is rare. Comprehensive treatment guidelines for posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder with fracture of the humeral head have not been previously published. Although open reduction and internal fixation of the proximal humerus for posterior fracture-dislocation has been reported in several series, the successful reconstruction of the articular surface by rigid internal fixation of a large osteochondral fragment has not been reported. This paper describes two cases of posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder with a substantial defect of the anteromedial humeral head resulting from the cleavage of a large osteochondral fragment. Preoperative computed axial tomographic (CAT) scanning of the injured shoulders helped in operative planning by precisely defining the extent of the articular injury. Accurate reconstruction of the articular surface restored joint stability and gave excellent clinical results. Large humeral head osteochondral fracture fragments require accurate reduction and internal fixation.

[Rehabilitation treatment of injuries of the shoulder joint].

The authors share their experience with treatment of injuries of the humeral articulation and their consequences. Main diseases of the articulation such as scapulohumeral periarthritis, habitual dislocation of the shoulder, fractures of the proximal end of the humeral bone are described. Original methods of conservative and operative treatment are proposed.

Fracture-dislocation of the shoulder in a child: case report.

This is a case of an 11-year old girl with a delayed diagnosis of a shoulder fracture-dislocation. Shoulder dislocations are rare, and proximal humerus fractures are uncommon. A fracture-dislocation in a child is, to our knowledge, as yet unrepresented in the English-language literature. The child's injury resolved without recurrence.

Handedness as a predictor of increased risk of knee, elbow, or shoulder injury, fractures and broken bones.

Several recent studies suggest that left-handers have higher susceptibility to accidental injury. Two studies investigated the suggested link between sinistrality and accidental injury by assessing the prevalence of joint problems, bone breaks, and fractures, which may be the sequelae of such mishaps. Study 1 used retrospective responses on medical history checklists completed by 1064 males on active duty with the United States Air Force. It found that left-handers were at significantly higher risk for knee problems (RR = 2.74), elbow and shoulder problems (RR = 3.03), and also swollen and painful joints (RR = 1.87), although there was no difference in the incidence of broken bones. Study 2 used an expanded handedness scale and retrospective reports of both bone breaks and fractures in a predominantly university sample of 1716 (975 women, 741 men) with median age of 20 years, and demonstrated that non-right-handers were at greater risk for bone breaks and fractures (RR = 1.24). As joint problems, as well as bone breaks and fractures, are often the aftermath of accidents that result in falls or collisions with unyielding objects, the fact that left-handers are more likely to suffer from these problems is consistent with the suggestion that sinistrals are more susceptible to accident-related injuries.

Historical development of shoulder care.

The development over the last century and a half of treatment for dislocation of the shoulder, fractures, acromioclavicular dislocation, arthroplasty, and rupture of the rotator cuff is outlined.
