Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Acute anterior shoulder dislocation is a common orthopedic emergency.
  • Irreducible dislocations, where closed reduction fails, are uncommon and present unique challenges.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with an irreducible acute anterior shoulder dislocation.
  • The humeral head was impacted against the glenoid rim, preventing closed reduction.

Findings:

  • Open disimpaction of the humeral head from the glenoid was necessary.
  • Successful reduction of the glenohumeral joint was achieved following the open procedure.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare presentation of shoulder dislocation.
  • Open disimpaction is a viable option for irreducible dislocations.
  • Understanding such rare mechanisms is crucial for orthopedic surgeons.
