Abstract
We report a case of locked posterior dislocation of the shoulder succe ssfully treated with arthroscopic removal of an intraarticular loose b ody and flattening of the impression fracture of the humeral head. A 2 -year follow-up shows excellent clinical results and no redislocation. We also describe the arthroscopic findings of this pathological situa tion.
