title: [Posterior shoulder dislocation in a patient sample of the Swiss Accident Insurance Service].
abstract: We report on 17 posterior shoulder dislocations which were investigated by SUVA's medical service during the past three years. We can confirm the information in the literature, that the diagnosis is initially often missed (4 out of 17) and that the injury is often sustained in epileptic fits (4 out of 17). Among our patients, however, the time at which the diagnosis was made did not obviously influence the results of the treatment. After treatment, over half of our patients have an impairment which, in three cases, resulted in integrity compensation, in one case in a recommendation for vocational retraining, in one case in a change of profession and in one case in a pension.
