Abstract
Fractures of the proximal humerus are commonly seen, and skin puckering is a rare clinical sign associated with such injuries. It is a relative indication to proceed with urgent surgical management due to the pending threat to soft tissue viability. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to describe a spontaneous un-puckering of the soft tissues in such an injury and it resulted in subsequent successful non-operative treatment.
