We report the case of a white skinned male of 2 years old that was treated in our department because of a right scapulohumeral dislocation. This was reduced and immobilized for three weeks. At five weeks of development the affected shoulder presented the same range of movements than contralateral shoulder.http://www.medisur.sld.cu/index.php/medisur/article/view/1501luxación del hombroinformes de casos
