Traumatic shoulder dislocation with proximal humerus fracture is a rare entity among children and treatment is always challenging. We present the case of a child with anterior dislocation of the shoulder associated with complete displaced proximal humerus metaphysis fracture. The fracture was treated by closed reduction using an innovative joystick technique and then fixation by two intramedullary K-wires. The dislocation was easily reduced after the fixation of the fracture. This method of treatment enables us to achieve excellent radiological and clinical results in a short time.
