title: Fracture dislocation of the proximal humerus with ipsilateral shaft fracture: a report of two cases.
abstract: We report two cases of ipsilateral proximal humerus fracture dislocation and shaft fracture in young adults. Fractures were treated with prosthetic replacement for the proximal humerus and open reduction and internal fixation for the shaft fracture due to the extent and complexity of the injury.
