Introduction Combined proximal humerus fracture dislocation and glenoid fracture is a rare combination of injuries which presents technical operative challenges. There is little evidence to guide surgical management. Case Report We report a case of a proximal humerus fracture with anterior dislocation and glenoid fracture treated in the same sitting with open reduction and internal fixation with angular stability locking plate and cannulated screw. The surgical technique involved standard deltopectoral approach with coracoid osteotomy. Conclusion By addressing both fractures operatively at the same time, we reported a satisfactory clinical and functional outcome with bony union of the fracture sites without instability at end of 1 year. Coracoid osteotomy may open an alternative pathway to treat complex proximal humerus injuries with ipsilateral glenoid fracture.

Abstract Background Axillary artery injury secondary to proximal humerus fracture is a rare but serious complication. The management of this injury has traditionally involved surgical treatment. Case summary A 66-year-old female with gait disturbance slipped and fell off her wheelchair at home. She presented to a local hospital with right shoulder pain and was subsequently urgently transferred to our hospital by helicopter because of suspicion of axillary artery injury. Computed tomography angiography revealed disruption of the right axillary artery. We decided to perform endovascular treatment instead of surgical treatment for axillary artery injury. However, since endovascular treatment via the right femoral artery was impossible, we performed bidirectional (right femoral and right brachial artery approaches) endovascular treatment. We expanded the occluded lesion using a 3.5 mm × 40 mm sized balloon and placed a 5.0 mm × 50 mm stent graft (Gore® Viabahn®) across the lesion. The final subclavian injection confirmed that distal flow to the brachial artery was preserved and that there was no leakage of contrast medium from the axillary artery. Discussion We performed endovascular treatment for axillary artery injury secondary to proximal humerus fracture. Although surgical repair is typically performed for this kind of injury, our experience suggests that endovascular treatment might be an option in patients with axillary artery injury.

Anterior Shoulder Dislocation

Introduction: Anterior shoulder dislocation is a common presentation in orthopedic emergency but a bilateral fracture dislocation is a rare entity. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature and their management is still not clear. We present a bilateral four part fracture dislocation with Bankart lesion on right side in a 48 years old. Case Report: A 48-year-old male presented with bilateral proximal humerus fracture with anterior shoulder dislocation following a seizure. He was managed with bilateral PHILOS and Latarjet procedure on right side for a chronic bony Bankart lesion. Superficial infection on left side was managed with debridement. After 1 year period patient had a satisfactory outcome with DASH score of 19.2. Conclusion: Bilateral four part proximal humerus fracture with shoulder dislocation is encountered rarely. Recurrent dislocations results in chronic glenoid bones loss which needs fixation along with fracture. Addressing both sides subsequently or in a single sitting is still debatable. Keywords: Bilateral humerus fracture, anterior dislocation, Bankart repair.

Proximal humerus fracture is common fracture 4-6% of all fractures (1), third most common non vertebral fracture in elderly >65 years (2), affecting female more than males in ratios of 2:1.Approximately half (51%) of these fractures are displaced, the majority of which involve the surgical neck (77%). (3) Surgical treatment (mainly internal fixation or humeral head replacement) is being increasingly used (4).Management of each fracture is dependent of patient factors, fracture pattern, and complexity.Case scenario:33 years old female not known to has any medical illness, presented to the emergency department with right shoulder pain and inability to move it after motor cycle accident. X-rayshowed proximal humerusfracture dislocation Upon Post-operative follow up patient developed sever inferior humeral head subluxation, With intact axillary nerve sensation and motor exam.Discussion:proximal humerus fracture is common, fracture pattern and type, with patient factors will guide your management.proximal humerus fracture dislocation is more difficult and challenging to surgeon in managing such fracture, with inferior hemeral head subluxation is common can reach to 42% in the radiographic incidence among proximal humerus fracture.
