Abstract
Bilateral posterior dislocation of the shoulder, often secondary to seizures, is uncommon, while bilateral posterior fracture-dislocations is rarer still: 0.6 cases among a population of 100,000 people per year. The scientific literature contains very few published reports of cases of bilateral posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder, a condition that tends to be sustained by epileptic patients during seizures. The authors presented a case of bilateral posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder secondary to a first epileptic seizure episode treated by humeral head replacement with stem less implants on both shoulders, with satisfactory radiographic and clinical outcome.
