Abstract
Case:A 34-year-old man was a restrained passenger involved in a high-speed rollover motor vehicle crash. The patient sustained a type 5 AC joint separation, severely comminuted intra-articular glenoid fracture with extension to the coracoid process base, displaced open scapular body fracture, a posterior shoulder dislocation of the glenohumeral joint, and a 2-part proximal humerus fracture.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the first report describing this injury pattern involving the superior shoulder suspensory complex with an associated open proximal humerus fracture-dislocation.
