Abstract:
Posterior dislocation of the shoulder is rare. Only 2-3% of dislocated shoulders are displaced posteriorly. It is a diagnostic trap for young doctors. Over 60% of the cases are not diagnosed initially. This is a case report of a patient treated with physical therapy and even mobilisation in anesthesia for 2 years and then needed a total shoulder replacement.
