title: Irreducible acute anterior shoulder dislocation.
abstract: Irreducible acute anterior dislocation of the shoulder has rarely been reported in the literature. This report describes a shoulder dislocation in a patient, which required open disimpaction of the humeral head from the glenoid before reduction of the glenohumeral dislocation could be achieved.
