Difficult access to medical care in times of COVID-19: late presentation of locked anterior shoulder dislocation: a case report

Neglected and locked anterior shoulder dislocation: functional outcomes and complications after open reduction and preservation of humeral head

“… 10 Should head preservation be attempted or discarded in favor of supervised neglect and a later replacement procedure? Difficult access to medical care during a pandemic may lead to a shoulder dislocation presenting as a neglected condition even in the present times 11 ; hence, it may be essential to understand the challenges associated with treating this complex problem. Therefore, the purpose of our study was (1) to evaluate the improvements in functional outcomes, pain scores, and shoulder range of motion (ROM) and (2) to evaluate the postoperative complications after open reduction and head preservation in patients with neglected and locked anterior shoulder dislocation.…”
