Abstract:
After workers suffer electric shock, the ankylosis and contraction of muscle groups around the shoulder joint are more likely to lead to posterior dislocation and fracture, of which 80% are complicated with reverse Hill-Sachs injury of humeral head. This paper reports a case of bilateral posterior dislocation of shoulder joint combined with Hill-Sachs injury caused by electric shock in the Department of Orthopedics, Affiliated Huzhou Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine in August 2020. The diagnosis of left posterior shoulder dislocation was clear, and the diagnosis of right posterior shoulder dislocation was missed. The patient successfully reconstructed the stability of the shoulder joint by actively performing shoulder arthroscopic surgery to repair the joint capsule. After 6 months of follow-up, there was no further dislocation and the function was good.
