Summary

Obstetric brachial plexus lesions can lead to shoulder deformities. Posterior shoulder luxation is a rare complication requiring specialized multidisciplinary care, as closed reduction is ineffective.

Background:

Obstetric brachial plexus lesions result from birth trauma during shoulder dystocia.
Persistent lesions can cause secondary rotator cuff imbalance and glenohumeral deformities.
This case highlights a rare complication in an adult with a history of such a lesion.

Observation:

A 34-year-old male presented with acute right shoulder pain.
Initial X-rays suggested posterior shoulder luxation, but closed reduction attempts failed.
CT scan revealed severe glenohumeral dysplasia with posterior humeral head luxation and retroversion.

Findings:

The patient experienced symptom relief with conservative management including rest and NSAIDs.
Closed reduction was ineffective for the posterior shoulder luxation.

Severe dysplasia and malrotation of the humeral head were identified as underlying issues.

Implications:

Posterior shoulder luxation is a potential, albeit rare, complication of obstetric brachial plexus lesions.
Standard closed reduction techniques are unsuitable for these complex cases.
Multidisciplinary team expertise is crucial for optimal management of obstetric brachial plexus lesion complications.
