WITHDRAWN: Shoulder pseudoparalysis in a child after massive cuff tear and glenohumeral interposition: a case report

We report an unusual case of a complete rotator cuff tendon avulsion with glenohumeral joint incarceration in skeletally-immature patient after significant trauma to the shoulder. Generally, it occurs in high-energy trauma, frequently in association with glenohumeral joint dislocation. Surgical treatment was performed confirming the injury and the rotator cuff interposition. It is important that orthopedic surgeons and radiologists become familiar with this entity which, because of its rarity, might be neglected in cases of shoulder trauma. Furthermore, this case documents the youngest patient ever to sustain such an injury in the orthopedic literature.
