Abstract
The anterior bilateral dislocation of the shoulder is a rare clinical entity. We report an observation of a young 22 years old soldier, right-handed person with a history of 2 episodes of antero-internal dislocation of the right shoulder, and who presented to the emergency room for functional impotence of the 2 upper limbs after falling from a ladder of 3 meters. The clinical examination suggesting a bilateral anterior dislocation of the 2 shoulders, confirmed on chest x-ray. An emergency reduction was performed by Kocher's maneuver with success during the first attempt. The patient was scheduled for delayed surgery on his unstable right shoulder.
