GARCIA PEREZ, Eduardo; FERRER LOZANO, Yovanny  and  MOREJóN TROFIMOVA, Yanett. Shoulder Dislocation in Children. A Case Presentation. Medisur [online]. 2012, vol.10, n.4, pp. 301-303. ISSN 1727-897X.

In pediatric age, epiphysis fractures are more common that the sprains  or dislocations due to the presence of bone tissue that can undergo a greater elastic deformation, a thick periosteum, stabilizer and ligaments with greater resistance to breakage than growth cartilage. We report the case of a white skinned male of 2 years old that was treated in our department because of a right scapulohumeral dislocation. This was reduced and immobilized for three weeks. At five weeks of development the affected shoulder presented the same range of movements than contralateral shoulder.

Keywords : shoulder dislocation; case reports.
