Abstract
Bilateral posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulders is rare, wit h only 26 reported cases in the literature. We present the case of a p atient who sustained bilateral posterior fracture-dislocations after a first time seizure. Due to significant articular surface involvement, bilateral hemiarthroplasties were performed. The literature on this i njury and current treatment options is also reviewed.
