Journal Title: Journal of Orthopedics & Bone Disorders - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Bilateral anterior dislocation of the shoulders associated with a bilateral fracture of the greater tuberosity is an extremely rare lesion. We reported a case of bilateral dislocation of the shoulder following an electrocution received and operated Treatment on in the Traumatology Orthopaedics I department of the Mohamed V Military Training Hospital in Rabat. The diagnosis was clinical as confirmed by radiological investigations; the patient received surgical treatment after failure of orthopaedic treatment, a bloody reduction in dislocation and osteosynthesis of the greater tuberosity of both shoulders. An evolution was marked by a satisfactory functional recovery of both shoulders. Even clinical examination can help to suspect dislocation, but x-rays are mandatory for an accurate and early diagnosis. Surgery is recommended for unreduced dislocations or displaced fractures; orthopaedic treatment is indicated in non-displaced fractures subsequent functional rehabilitation allows results after surgical and non-surgical treatment.
