We report a case of a 53 years old male who received a trauma in his left shoulder. He came to our Service whit intensive pain, deformity and absolute funcional incapacity in his left upper limb. We diagnose a posterior glenohumeral dislocation associated to an humeral shaft fracture. A closed reduction for the dislocation and an open internal fixation whit ASIF plate for the shaft fracture were performed. Before the reduction of the dislocation image study showed a fracture on the postero-internal side of the humeral head (Mc Laughlin lesion) and a fracture on the posterior glenoid rim (reversed Bankart lesion). We maintained non surgical treatment for the dislocation and we obtained funcional satisfactory result. We discussed beside, others possible options of treatment.
