Simultaneous Bilateral Proximal Humeri Anterior Fracture Dislocations in a Patient with 1st Onset Seizure. A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract

Bilateral anterior fracture-dislocations of humeral neck in a patient with seizure are extremely rare. We describe a rare case of a 33 -year-old Chinese gentleman who presented post seizure secondary to subdural gliosis, sequelae from a previous subdural haematoma. Following physical examination and radiographic assessment, including a Computed Tomography scan (CT scan), Rarely fracturedislocation of bilateral proximal humeri were diagnosed; similar fracture patterns were noted. Open reduction and internal fixation with PHILOS proximal humeral locking plate allowed early shoulder rehabilitation.
