Chronic non-treated posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder

Simultaneous posterior fracture dislocation of the shoulder following epileptic convulsion

Shoulder dislocations with fractures are a possible complication of an epileptic seizure and are often missed on the first sight. The incidence of sustaining an avascular humeral head necrosis (AVN) is high, and primary prosthetic replacement is the choice of treatment. In this paper, we describe such a rare case: a 48-year-old male patient sustained simultaneous bilateral posterior shoulder di...

Besides its rarity, this complicated condition may cause delays in diagnosis because of the physicians’ tendency to use plain radiography which is known to have low sensitivity in dete...
