THE RESOLUTION
Dislocation of the head of the humerus is evident but there is also a fracture. This is one of the reasons it is so important to get a pre-reduction film even in classical dislocation. Fractures can complicated reductions. They can “catch” on surrounding anatomy and make reduction more difficult.
