RESUMEN
Anterior shoulder dislocation is the most common type of shoulder dislocation but if accompanied by an ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture, it becomes extremely rare. There was no clear approach for dealing with these cases. We would like to present a case of a 17-year-old medically free male who was brought to the emergency department by ambulance after a road traffic accident. The patient was conscious, alert, and oriented. His Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was 15/15. He had multiple bruises all over his body with obvious swelling in his right arm with an inability to move the arm. There was tenderness over the right arm but an intact distal neurovascular exanimation. X-ray and CT scan showed anterior shoulder dislocation with an ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture of the right arm. There is no specific approach for such cases. However, open reduction with an intramedullary nail showed good outcomes with fewer postoperative neurovascular complications.
