Bilateral Anterior Shoulder Dislocation Due to Traffic Accident: Case Reports

The most common dislocation seen by emergency physicians is anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint. Bilateral dislocation of this joint is rarely seen. From the history of the patient it was discovered that during the trauma elbow joints were tense (hyperextension), arms were abducted from the shoulder and the patient had fallen on his hands. This position explained how anterior dislocation had happened. With this case presentation we aimed to draw attention to a frequently seen clinical entity in emergency departments and its rarely seen form.
