Abstract

A case of bilateral anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint is described. The patient was a recreational weightlifter who sustained the injury while performing the ‘pull-over’ bench movement using free weights. Probably, the shoulders dislocated when the force developed by the periarticular muscles was less than the actual weight that the patient was trying to lift. The need for stricter safety rules and better supervision in health clubs is stressed.
