Spontaneous soft tissue un-puckering of a surgical neck of humerus fracture: a case report

Fractures of the proximal humerus are commonly seen, and skin puckering is a rare clinical sign associated with such injuries. It is a relative indication to proceed with urgent surgical management due to the pending threat to soft tissue viability. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first re...

description Fractures of the proximal humerus are commonly seen, and skin puckering is a rare clinical sign associated with such injuries. It is a relative indication to proceed with urgent surgical management due to the pending threat to soft tissue viability. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to describe a spontaneous un-puckering of the soft tissues in such an injury and it resulted in subsequent successful non-operative treatment.
