description | 【Abstract】Fracture of the proximal humerus metaphysis with coexistent dislocation of the shoulder in chil-
dren is a rare injury. The injury often occurs as a consequence of high velocity trauma. Most fractures of the proximal humerus commonly associated with the epiphysis in
children can be treated with closed reduction. We presented a case of 5-year-old girl who sustained this type of fracture-
dislocation of the shoulder. Open reduction and internal fixation with multiple smooth K-wires was performed. At two years follow-up, the patient was pain free and regained
full range of motion. |
