RESUMEN
A 60-year-old diabetic patient presented with acute pain and swelling localized to the left acromioclavicular joint. Laboratory and radiological investigations revealed the presence of pus in the left acromioclavicular joint along with bony erosion of the lateral end of the left clavicle. She was treated with open arthrotomy, debridement, and appropriate antibiotics for the causative methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. Prompt diagnosis and timely intervention can reduce the morbidity and mortality due to septic arthritis. We conducted a review of the literature on patients treated for isolated septic arthritis of the acromioclavicular joint.
RESUMEN
Simultaneous anterior glenohumeral dislocations are rare in occurrence and difficult to diagnose and treat. Here, we present a case of a 33-year-old male with simultaneous anterior glenohumeral fracture dislocation after an episode of seizure. Closed reduction of both the shoulders was performed. Displaced greater tuberosity fracture fixation was done through deltoid splitting approach using cannulated cancellous screws. Fracture union was achieved at three months of follow-up with a good functional outcome. Early diagnosis and reduction provide a good functional outcome.
