[A case of posterior dislocation of the shoulder with fracture of the humeral neck].

A case of posterior dislocation of the shoulder with concomitant fracture of the humeral neck and diagnostic difficulties are discussed. An axial radiograph of the shoulder was omitted at the first examination and posterior dislocation was unrecognized. It was diagnosed only after one month. Surgical reduction with Steinman pin and Kirschner wires fixation rendered good final outcome.
