Bilateral dislocation of the shoulders.

R J Brown

    Injury
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Bilateral shoulder dislocations often result from seizures or electrocution, not just trauma. Neurological examination is crucial for accurate diagnosis in these cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Neurology
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Bilateral shoulder dislocation is a significant orthopedic injury.
    • Understanding the etiology of bilateral shoulder dislocations is critical for appropriate management.
    • This study reviews ninety cases, including seven new ones, to analyze causes.

    Observation:

    • Forty-nine percent of cases were linked to convulsive seizures or electrocution.
    • Twenty-three percent were attributed to trauma.
    • Thirty-six percent were atraumatic, with a notable portion potentially misdiagnosed seizures.

    Findings:

    • A significant number of dislocations presumed to be traumatic may actually stem from unrecognized seizures.
    • Dislocations caused by seizures or electrocution are frequently diagnosed late.
    • Neurological examination is recommended for all patients presenting with bilateral shoulder dislocations.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering seizures as a cause of bilateral shoulder dislocations.
    • Emphasizes the need for thorough neurological assessment in suspected traumatic shoulder dislocations.
    • Suggests improved diagnostic protocols are needed for seizure-induced dislocations to ensure timely treatment.
