INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study is to describe the demographics, management and functional outcomes of @entity1 presenting with a @entity2720 ( @entity2720 ) dislocation. METHODS: A retrospective medical record review was conducted examining @entity1 with @entity2720 dislocation admitted to an adult level 1 @entity130 centre between 2004 and 2012. @entity1 demographics, symptoms, associated injuries, imaging technique used in diagnosis, surgical data and @entity531 were recorded. @entity1 received a single-page questionnaire to assess physical function using two validated shoulder questionnaires. RESULTS: A total of 22 @entity1 were identified, out of which 77% sustained a @entity3029 . Mean age was 30 years (range 16-65), and the most common cause of injury was a direct blow during sport (n=11). Open reduction and internal fixation were performed in 13 @entity1 , definitive closed reduction used in seven and two @entity1 were managed expectantly. Functional outcomes for @entity1 were excellent, with American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) and Subjective Shoulder Value ( @entity12432 ) scores >80 in 87.5% of cases. There were preoperative symptoms consistent with mediastinal compression in 50% and one delayed presentation with @entity531 . No @entity1 had neurovascular compromise or functional deficit post-operatively, regardless of joint congruency. CONCLUSION: This is the largest case series from a single institution currently available examining @entity2720 dislocation. We recommend an initial trial of closed reduction, followed by open reduction and internal fixation if there is joint @entity1344 . Functional outcome following both closed and open reduction of the @entity2720 is excellent.
