Case:
A 32-year-old man sustained a rare and complex injury pattern representing an anterior glenohumeral fracture dislocation with critical intra-articular glenoid bone loss, and a double disruption of the superior shoulder suspensory complex (acromion + coracoid fractures), following a fall. To restore joint stability, surgical reconstruction of the glenoid fossa was performed, while fixation of the acromion and coracoid fractures was necessary to re-establish superior shoulder suspensory complex integrity.
Conclusion:
Achieving structural stability facilitated fracture healing and rehabilitation, resulting in excellent functional outcomes at 1 year. This report presents a clinical entity that has not been previously described in literature.
