Abstract

We report a case of locked posterior dislocation of the shoulder successfully treated with arthroscopic removal of an intraarticular loose body and flattening of the impression fracture of the humeral head. A 2-year follow-up shows excellent clinical results and no redislocation. We also describe the arthroscopic findings of this pathological situation.
