Introduction Bilateral shoulder dislocations are rare and a diagnostic as well as a therapeutic challenge. Case Report We report the case of a 67-year-old male who fell while skiing and suffered a bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation associated with a four-part proximal humerus fracture on the left side and an osseous avulsion of the rotator cuff, a Pulley lesion, and a Hill-Sachs lesion o...

The relationship between the number of shoulder dislocations and the depth and percent of head involvement of the Hill-Sachs lesions was investigated in this study. Thirty patients with recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder were divided into three groups according to the numbers of dislocations they had presented: Group 1: 1 to 5 dislocations ; Group 2: 6 to 20; Group 3: over 20. The m...

AIM The purpose of our study is to compare four different techniques for reduction shoulder dislocation in term of efficacy, duration until reduction and pain felt by patient during the procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS During 2015 year, we conducted a study on 50 chronological patients with anterior shoulder dislocation. After exclusion of four patients, the remaining 46 (74% males, mean age 4...

. Historically, 96% of shoulder dislocations have been attributed to a traumatic episode with anterior dislocation accounting for 97% of these. . Traumatic dislocation of the glenohumeral joint is the most common joint dislocation with an incidence of 8.2 to 23.9 per 100,000 per year. The male to female ratio is 2.55: 1 with almost 50% occurring in patients between the age of 15 years and 29 ye...

PURPOSE. To evaluate results of the modified Boytchev procedure for recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder in 60 patients. METHODS. Medical records of 45 men and 15 women aged 20 to 44 years who underwent the modified Boytchev procedure for recurrent anterior dislocation of the right (n=44) and left (n=16) shoulders were reviewed. The mean number of dislocations was 14. Outcome was eval...

Acute and chronic symptomatic anterior sternoclavicular (SC) dislocations are rare; various treatment options have been described. With the purpose of surveying current practices and opinions concerning treatment of these lesions, we sent a questionnaire to members of a general orthopaedic society, a national shoulder society and an international shoulder society. Closed reduction was attempted...

Glenoid and humeral head bone loss is the most common cause of failure after surgical shoulder instability stabilization. Large Hill-Sachs lesions involving >30% of the articular surface of the humeral head typically occur after neglected or locked shoulder dislocations. Such large lesions may require osteochondral allograft reconstruction or prosthetic replacement to regain shoulder stability ...

BACKGROUND During 1978 and 1979, we initiated a prospective multicenter study to evaluate the results of nonoperative treatment of primary anterior shoulder dislocation. In the current report, we present the outcome after twenty-five years. METHODS Two hundred and fifty-five patients (257 shoulders) with an age of twelve to forty years who had a primary anterior shoulder dislocation were mana...

INTRODUCTION Late diagnoses of orthopedic injuries after epileptic crisis are a matter of concern. The rarity of correlation between seizure and specific trauma incidences such as bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation, may lead to improper estimation of the patient's clinical state, wrong treatment and unpleasant complications. CASE REPORT We report a rare case of bilateral anterior shoulde...

Methods This retrospective study analyzed 76 patients with a mean age of 28 and mean postoperative follow-up period of 62 months. Evaluation consisted of physical examination, and X-rays; results were classified according to the UCLA and Rowe scales. Results Patients showed de...
