Bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation in two cases due to housework accidents

Abstract

We present two cases of simultaneous bilateral anterior shoulder dislocations caused by housework accidents. Both patients (females, aged 64 and 65 years) sustained injuries when they lost balance and tried to grab something to prevent falling during hanging curtains on a chair. One patient developed brachial plexus palsy due to prolonged hanging position. Shoulder dislocations were successfully reduced by closed reduction. Both patients were followed-up for 1.5 years, during which no decrease in range of motion, strength loss, or shoulder instability were seen. Housework accidents can lead to bilateral shoulder dislocations especially in elderly patients with balance problems.
