title: [Treatment of locked chronic posterior dislocation of the shoulder].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The posterior locked shoulder dislocation is a rare injury that is often associated with an impression fracture of the anteromedial aspect of the humeral head. The majority of posterior shoulder dislocations are missed on the initial examination.
  
  
  METHODS
  We demonstrate the case of an athlete, who presented with a posterior shoulder dislocation after a trauma two months ago.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient was treated with a M. subscapularis transfer in the reverse-hill-sachs-lesion.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The diagnosis of the posterior shoulder dislocation remains a problem in the clinical setting. Treatment is based on the size defect of the anteromedial humeral head. Different treatment options are still controversially discussed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  To diagnose a posterior shoulder dislocation correctly a standard clinical and radiological assessment is necessary.
