title: Locked posterior dislocation of the shoulder.
abstract: What the authors mean by locked dislocation of the shoulder is an inveterate posterior dislocation of the humeral head which remains locked within the glenoid cavity as a result of anatomopathological lesion. Based on an analysis of four cases a diagnostic-therapeutic protocol is proposed in which the clinical and radiographic data obtained allows for a reliable diagnosis and suitable treatment.
