Osteomyelitis with abscess associated with acute closed upper humerus fracture in an adult: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: A 64‐year‐old female presented with malaise and fever 11 days after a closed, minimally displaced humerus surgical neck fracture. MR imaging revealed an abscess around the fracture, which is a very rare occurrence in adults. Two open debridements and IV antibiotics eradicated the infection. Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty was eventually performed for fracture nonunion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
