Abstract In this case report, the progression of the disease in a 14-years-old girl is described. Based on a minor cervical hyperextension and -flexion traumatization experienced during a basketball game she developed the symptoms of a non-reducible anterior shoulder instability and a subsequent thoracic scoliosis. Other symptoms resembled the clinical picture of a complex regional pain syndrome. Conservative and stabilizing surgical interventions to the shoulder turned out to be obsolete. Hence, at the end of a series of various treatment procedures, arthrodetic surgery had to be performed to leave the young patient painfree, yet with a functional impairment.
