Abstract
We report a case involving combined acromion fracture and posterior glenohumeral dislocation. To our knowledge, this combination of injuries has not been reported previously in the literature. In our case, the shoulder dislocation was initially missed. The utility of additional radiographic views to detect this type of injury is emphasized. The mechanism of injury, course of treatment, and clinical outcome are presented.
