Posterior shoulder dislocations are the rarest of all shoulder dislocations. They are commonly associated with seizures, electric shocks, or trauma. This case report presents a 60-year-old male with a posterior shoulder dislocation complicated by fractures of the greater tuberosity (GT) and lesser tuberosity (LT) and a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. The patient was treated surgically using a modified McLaughlin procedure. This case highlights the importance of the early recognition and appropriate surgical management of complex posterior shoulder dislocations to prevent recurrent instability and ensure optimal functional recovery.
