Abstract
Introduction: Shoulder dislocations, common in emergency departments, often include anterior dislocations. Bilateral dislocations, particularly posterior, are rare and are generally caused by sporting accidents or convulsions. Bilateral anterior dislocations are even rarer and often of traumatic origin. Case report: We analyzed three new cases of bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation, examining the mechanisms, risks and treatments Discussion: Bilateral dislocation, often posterior but sometimes anterior, is rare and can result from high-energy trauma or convulsions. A careful clinical examination is crucial to avoid diagnostic errors. Approximately 15% of patients have greater tuberosity fractures. Arthroscopic Bankart and open Latarjet procedures are often recommended for the treatment of residual instability.
