ABSTRACT

Floating shoulder is an injury in which the stability of the supsensory complex is lost, when two or more injuries of its bone or ligament components occur, it is infrequent and is associated with high energy mechanisms. Within the diagnostic complement, basic studies such as simple or more advanced radiographic projections such as computed axial tomography or magnetic resonance can be used in order to establish a more accurate diagnosis to determine its stability. Therapeutic management varies from conservative management through immobilization and surgical procedures through the use of osteosynthesis material in order to regain anatomical stability. We report the case of a 31-year-old male, who undergoes surgical management and follow-up over a period of six months. Floating shoulder is a condition with loss of stability of the shoulder suspension complex, it is associated with high energy mechanisms, its infrequency generates variability in its therapeutic management, establishing good results with conservative management in nondisplaced injuries of bone components, as well as frank dynamic instabilities.
