| Popis: | We present a case of a 61 year-old woman who suffered a bilateral posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder after an isolated episode of epileptic seizure. The patient was diagnosed at our Emergency department with x-rays and CT scans after being found unconscious. An indication for bilateral shoulder hemiprosthesis implant was initially given. However, given the peculiar pattern of the fracture, the hemiprosthesis was implanted on one side only, while the other side was treated with ORIF with four cannulated screws. After the one year, the patient had resumed her previous activities and had no complaints. We performed a review of similar cases in literature and provided a rationale for our choice of treatment and the reasons for its success. |
