title: [Traumatic posterior shoulder dislocation : diagnosis and therapy].
abstract: In contrast to anterior dislocations, traumatic dorsal shoulder dislocation is a rare complication of upper extremity injuries. If the diagnosis is overseen and treated incorrectly, severe mobility restrictions might be the consequence for the injured individual. Hence, the aim of this article is to demonstrate the adequate diagnostic and therapeutic management and to critically discuss the literature.
