Abstract:
Open dislocation of the shoulder is a rare injury. We report the case of an open shoulder dislocation in a 15-year-old boy. After 15 months his pain was mild and function fair, but radiographs revealed severe destruction of the humeral head though to be secondary to avascular necrosis. Other reported cases of this injury are discussed.
