Background: Posterior glenohumeral joint dislocation is a rare injury. Despite positive clinical signs is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. The presence of a large bone humeral defect could worsen the outcome.
Case Report: We report a case of 45 years-old man with a neglected posterior shoulder dislocation with a large segmental bone defect involving 40% of the articular surface of the humeral head. We decided to treat the patient with an open reduction of the shoulder dislocation and reconstruction of the articular surface with fresh-frozen humeral head allograft. Our patient showed improved shoulder mobility and ROM on all planes that positively affected the patient daily activities; no pain was registered at follow-ups.
Conclusion: Our case report demonstrates that neglected posterior shoulder dislocations with a large bone defect and viable humeral head can be treated using allograft, obtaining optimal clinical results and avoiding the need for early prosthetic replacement surgery.
