Abstract

A case of bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation accompanied by bilateral brachial plexus injuries is presented. A 53-year-old man fell and landed on his chest and arms flexed at the elbows. The dislocations were satisfactorily reduced using the forward elevation, flexion maneuver. Electromyography and nerve conduction studies confirmed bilateral brachial plexus lesions. Arthrogram of the right shoulder demonstrated a rotator cuff tear. The patient is undergoing physical therapy and making a slow recovery.
