Fracture-dislocation of the shoulder in a child: case report.

This is a case of an 11-year old girl with a delayed diagnosis of a shoulder fracture-dislocation. Shoulder dislocations are rare, and proximal humerus fractures are uncommon. A fracture-dislocation in a child is, to our knowledge, as yet unrepresented in the English-language literature. The child's injury resolved without recurrence.
