Simultaneous bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation as a result of minimal trauma

Simultaneous bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation is rare, it often occurs after high energy trauma, we report a case of a 43-years-old male presented with bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation when he tries to stand up from the floor, shoulders in extension, abduction and external rotation. A closed reduction was performed without complications, and one month later the right shoulder was stabilized by open Laterjet technique. The evolution was favorable for both shoulders with no pain, recuperation of the range motion and no recurrence of dislocation. Through this case we underline the value of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation, to avoid complications and obtain good result.
