Posterior dislocation of the shoulder associated with obstetric brachial plexus palsy

MC Dunkerton

St Mary's Hospital, London.

Four cases of posterior dislocation of the shoulder at birth in association with obstetric brachial plexus palsy are presented. Review of the literature suggests that this association is not generally recognised. All cases were diagnosed late; two were treated by open reduction, one by humeral osteotomy and one managed conservatively.
