Abstract

The clinical presentation of a missed posterior shoulder dislocation has similarities with an idiopathic frozen shoulder masking proper diagnosis at the time of injury. We report a case of a 48-year-old woman with shoulder pain which demonstrates the importance of correct initial diagnosis and management.
