A case report on the fracture-dislocation of the humerus has been made. The case was 34 year old male who had comminuted fracture of surgical neck of the right humerus with the head fragment was displaced completely between the scapula and subscapular muscle. Open reduction and Steimann pin fixation has been made successfully and applied Velpeau bandage for ten days.
