title: A case of bilateral primary posterior dislocation of the shoulder.
abstract: We present a case of bilateral primary dislocation of the shoulder, which was treated operatively on the left and conservatively on the right side. Primary posterior dislocation of the shoulder is rarely seen and bilateral case is extremely rare. For the diagnosis it is essential to have a knowledge of this dislocation. As to roentgenographic examination, the axillary projection is most helpful but can't be routinely taken because of severe pain and limited abduction of the shoulder. So special roentgenographic techniques are necessary.
