Abstract

Anterior dislocations of the shoulder are the most common major joint dislocation encountered in the emergency department, but bilateral anterior shoulder dislocations are very rare. It is well described in the medical literature that most of the bilateral shoulder dislocations are consist of posterior dislocation of the shoulders or anterior shoulder dislocations complicating neurovascular injuries and fractures.
