Abstract

Acute traumatic posterior glenohumeral dislocation in association with a massive rotator cuff tear is rare. Moreover, only few cases with interposition of the long biceps head of the tendon has been described to prevent reduction in posterior dislocation of the shoulder. In addition, combined scapula fracture with posterior shoulder dislocation also extremely rare. We present a case of Irreducible posterior fracture and dislocation of shoulder with massive rotator cuff tear due to incarceration of biceps tendon. For the treatment arthroscopic in situ superior capsule reconstruction was performed using the long head of the biceps tendon with rotator cuff repair.
