Abstract:
PURPOSE: Bilateral traumatic locked posterior dislocations of the shoulder are very rare and there has been no report on the operative treatment for this injury in the Korean medical literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We present here a case of bilateral locked posterior dislocations of the shoulders after trauma and this was successfully treated with open reduction and lesser tuberosity transfer on the right shoulder and subscapularis tendon transfer on the left shoulder. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Twenty-four months later, the clinical and radiologic results were excellent.
