Abstract
Non-traumatic bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation is rarely encountered. A 26-year-old man who developed for the first time a bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation without a history of trauma, although he had a history of bilaterally dislocated shoulders at different times, was presented to our clinic. After confirmation by direct radiography and computerized tomography (CT), the patient underwent closed reduction of the glenohumeral joint and was managed with a conservative approach. We aimed to present this case with non-traumatic bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation, which is rarely seen, with nine cases reported in the literature.
