“…Glenohumeral dislocations are generally encountered in case reports with accompanying proximal humerus fracture in the majority of the cases. Winmoon et al reported the application of closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation for epiphysis slippage and glenohumeral dislocation in a 2-year-old child [8]. Do and Kellar reported the case of a 14-year-old patient with transitory inferior dislocation of the shoulder, whom they treated with percutaneous pinning [9].…”

IntroductionIn contrast to adults, traumatic glenohumeral dislocation is a rarely observed condition among children. In some cases, success in durable reduction with conservative methods, and achieving lasting treatment, may not be possible.Case presentationIn this study, the case of a 7-year-old Turkish girl with a Salter–Harris type II fracture and glenohumeral dislocation of the proximal humerus due to a fall from a height of 1.5 meters who underwent open reduction surgery is presented along with a review of the literature.ConclusionOrthopedic surgeons should consider glenohumeral dislocation which is an extremely rare condition when they encounter proximal humerus fractures in pediatric trauma.

BackgroundAlthough rare, pediatric proximal humerus fractures may coexist with glenohumeral dislocations. Most of these injuries are Salter -Harris type of injuries. The treatment usually consists of closed or open reduction and k- wires fixation.The caseIn this case report; a 10-year-old girl presented with a rare traumatic humeral surgical neck fracture with a posterior shoulder dislocation that was treated by closed reduction and flexible intramedullary nailing.ConclusionPediatric humerus fracture dislocations are rare. Treatment should keep in mind preservation of the growth plate.

“…One of the first cases reported regarding shoulder fracture dislocation was described by Nicastro and Adair in 1982 in a 32 month old child, suspected of being victim of abuse with SH-I fracture proximal humerus and anterior shoulder dislocation that was treated with open reduction and single smooth K-wire fixation [ 18 ]. The first youngest age of shoulder fracture dislocation case that was successfully treated by closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation was described by Winmmon et al in a 2 year old child with SH I proximal humerus fracture and anterior shoulder dislocation [ 19 ].…”

Introduction and importance Combined proximal humerus fracture and glenohumeral dislocation in the pediatric population is extremely rare, with only few reports of such cases been reported. We review all cases of combined proximal humerus fracture and glenohumeral dislocation in the pediatric population and present a case of left proximal humerus fracture dislocation in a healthy 5-year-old girl. Case presentation A 5-year-old girl fell from 2 m height and landed on her left shoulder where she started to complain from severe left shoulder pain, inability to move her left shoulder and bruising. She was diagnosed at our facility to have left proximal humerus fracture combined with glenohumeral dislocation and was treated with open reduction, K-wires fixation and immobilization in a shoulder cast. Clinical discussion Traumatic proximal humeral fracture associated with glenohumeral dislocation is a rare presentation in pediatric age group. This type of fracture is usually managed by closed reduction and casting, with a minority being managed with open reduction. Indications for surgical intervention are open fractures, severely displaced fractures, fractures that are associated with neurovascular compromise, or irreducible fracture due to soft tissue obstacles. Conclusions A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose such injuries along with appropriate radiographic evaluation. We recommend open reduction with K-wires fixation for irreducible combined proximal humeral fracture and glenohumeral dislocation.
