Full-thickness rotator cuff tears are relatively uncommon in the young adults. One of the pathogenesis of such tear is thought to be closely related to the specific trauma event. Favorable outcome is expected in young patient rotator cuff tears when it is diagnosed early following prompt surgical repair. However, early detection is sometimes difficult when the acute rotator cuff tear is combined with other injuries especially around the shoulder joints such as ipsilateral humerus fractures. Authors report an uncommon case of acute traumatic rotator cuff tear accompanied by the midhumerus shaft fracture in young adult.
