Learning Point of the Article: Chronic posterior shoulder dislocation is a rare and easily missed injury. Although rarely used, posterior bone block procedure may be a useful procedure for the management of these types of cases. The limited posterior deltoid splitting approach can provide adequate exposure of posterior glenoid. The posterior bone block procedure has provided satisfactory stability both in intraoperative and...

Divergent Fracture–dislocation of Shoulders – A Therapeutic Challenge


Learning Point of the Article: High suspicion of injury and stronger fixation of fracture is needed in patients presenting with shoulder dislocation following seizures to prevent missed diagnoses and failures from pre-existing osteopenia of drug use; a classification is also proposed for these injuries. Case Report | Volume 10 | Issue 6 | JOCR September 2020 | Page 80-85 | Srinivas B S Kambhampati, Samundeeswari Saseendar,...

Read MoreBilateral Anterior Shoulder Dislocation in the Elderly – A Case Report and Review of the Literature


What to Learn from this Article? During clinical examination a bilateral shoulder dislocation presents with a fallacious symmetry of the shoulder girdle: sufficient diagnostics are needed to prevent a late-diagnosis and a non-detection of concomitant pathologies. Case Report | Volume 7 | Issue 5 | JOCR Sep – Oct 2017 | Page 42-49| Kristian Nikolaus Schneider, Benedikt Schliemann, Salomon M Manz, Pranai K Buddhdev, Georg...

What to Learn from this Article? The fractured fragment of coracoid in post seizure patients can be used for addressing bony deficiency in case of recurrent dislocation of shoulder. Case Report | Volume 6 | Issue 5 | JOCR November-December 2016 | Page 81-84 | Prateek Kumar Gupta, Ashis Acharya, Amit Mourya DOI: 10.13107/jocr.2250-0685.644 Authors: Prateek Kumar Gupta[1], Ashis Acharya[1], Amit Mourya[1] [1]Department of...
