TY - JOUR T1 - Contralateral Intrathoracic Displacement of the Humeral Head. A Case Report* AU - EBERSON, CRAIG P. AU - NG, THOMAS AU - GREEN, ANDREW Y1 - 2000/01/01 N1 - JO - The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery SP - 105 EP - 8 VL - 82 IS - 1 N2 - Fracture-dislocation of the proximal aspect of the humerus with remote displacement of the humeral head is exceedingly rare. We are aware of five reports that describe such injuries2,3,5,7,8. In four of them, the injury was an ipsilateral intrathoracic displacement of the humeral head resulting from fracture-dislocation. The fifth, more recent report details a case in which the displaced humeral head was found in the ipsilateral retroperitoneal space8. SN - 0021-9355 M3 - doi: UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ER -
