Résumé
A 50-year-old male traffic accident victim sustained high-energy trauma leading to intra-thoracic fracture-dislocation of the humeral head. Dislocation of the humeral head into the thoracic cavity is a very rare injury. Only twelve cases have been reported in the literature. Treatment modalities vary and no guidelines have been proposed. The mechanism of the injury and the treatment options are discussed together with a review of the literature.
