Bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation: A case report and a review of the literature

Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 53, Issue 1

Abstract

Dislocation is more often encountered due to multilateral mobility of the shoulder joint, its anatomic characteristics, and its being more exposed to traumas. Shoulder dislocations are often anterior and unilateral; though rare, bilateral shoulder dislocations are also encountered. Such dislocations are mostly posterior. A simultaneous bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation is extremely rare. In the current study, we present the case of a 55-year-old female patient, with a simultaneous bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation, who was admitted in our emergency polyclinic due to complaints of pain on both shoulders and limited mobility following a fall.
