Abstract:

Simultaneous bilateral shoulder dislocations are usually posterior with anterior dislocations¹ being rare and simultaneous anterior shoulder dislocations with fractures of the greater tuberosity⁵ being even more rare usually associated with trauma or seizures^2,3 . Here we present a rare case of simultaneous bilateral anterior dislocation of the shoulder with fractures of the greater tuberosity following an unusual injury mechanism which was treated surgically.

Keywords:

Bilateral - anterior dislocation - shoulder - fracture - greater tuberosity
