Raises awareness of biceps interposition in irreducible post-seizure shoulder fracture-dislocations; leaves open prevalence and optimal management.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare case where biceps tendon interposition prevents closed reduction of a posterior shoulder fracture dislocation.
Goldman et al. (1987) conducted a case report in Posterior fracture dislocation of the shoulder (n=1). Open reduction was evaluated. In a case of posterior fracture dislocation of the shoulder secondary to a seizure, interposition of the biceps tendon precluded closed reduction and required subsequent open reduction.
