Abstract
Bilateral anterior fracture dislocation of the shoulder secondary to a high voltage electric shock is extremely rare, with only a few case reports available. To our knowledge, a prolonged delayed presentation (>4weeks) of an anterior fracture dislocation of the shoulder has not yet been reported in the English literature. We report an unusual case of a bilateral anterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder, following an electric shock from a high voltage domestic electric supply. The patient was treated operatively with an open-reduction of both dislocated shoulder joints, followed by splinting immobilisation of the joint in full internal rotation for 3 weeks and attendance to physiotherapy for 6 months. At the last follow-up after more than 10 years after the injury, the patient was pain free with no impingement of activities of daily living and had returned to his former job.
