Abstract :
Proximal humerus fracture-dislocation is a rare condition that occurs mostly in young adults due to high energy trauma and about 60-79% of misdiagnosis occurred in the first diagnosis. In this article, we present two patients with proximal Humerus fracture-posterior dislocation whom their fractures have been diagnosed but even though after radiographic studies including x-ray and CT scan the posterior dislocation has been misdiagnosed. Also, complications, management, and avoidance of this misdiagnosis have been discussed.
