Entrapped long head of biceps tendon in pediatric proximal humerus fracture dislocation: A case report and review of the literature.

ABSTRACT:

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
