title: Bilateral anterior fracture dislocation of the shoulders.
abstract: A case of bilateral anterior fracture dislocation of the shoulders is reported. Treatment included an open reduction and internal fixation on the right side and a Neer hemiarthroplasty on the left. The probable cause of injury was trauma, although a convulsive episode cannot be ruled out. Bilateral biceps tendon interposition was also seen in this case.
