“…Brackstone et al describe the "triple E syndrome" to define the causative factors involved in this injury, namely epilepsy, electrocution, and extreme trauma (3). The varied clinical presentation of bilateral posterior fracture-dislocation has resulted in this injury initially being managed as myocardial infarction, frozen shoulders, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy (3,7,8).…”

“…This view may be difficult to obtain if the patient is experiencing pain around the affected shoulder. A CT scan of the shoulder is helpful in confirming the diagnosis and assessing the fracture geometry (8,12).…”

“…Other cases reported in literature are either posterior dislocations or were associated with the fractures. [13] Posterior dislocations occur due to seizures , electrocution [14]or following hypoglycemic episode. [15] This is due to the forceful contracture of the internal rotators which overpower the external rotators.…”

Traumatic bilateral anterior glenohumeral dislocation . Should unsupervised training at local gym be allowed?

The wide range of motion provided by the shoulder complex allows the glenohumeral joint to be used as a stable fulcrum for placing the upper extremity at various positions in three-dimensional space. A consequence of this flexibility, however, is the propensity for the joint to become unstable. Shoulder joint mostly dislocates anteriorly but the bilateral dislocations are of rare occurance. Most of these are posterior. Bilateral anterior dislocations are of rare occurrence and only few cases are reported in English literature which are usually associated with fractures. We report this case of bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation due to hyperextension injury caused due to unsupervised open weight bench pressing without any associated fracture. Closed reduction was done under sedation uneventfully. Unsupervised training at the local gyms should be discouraged and proper equipment should be sought for these fitness training centres to prevent such injuries.

Bilateral anterior shoulder dislocations in bench pressing: an unusual cause.

A case of bilateral anterior glenohumeral dislocation in a young weight trainer is presented. The patient, an insurance clerk, had been using a free weight bar in the bench press position and had become tired when the weight on the bar forced his arms into hyperextension in the midabducted position. The humeral shaft gradually pivoted on the bench and the humeral heads were slowly dislocated anteriorly by the weight of the bar. Simple closed reduction under sedation was performed and there were no complications. After six weeks in bilateral broad arm slings, with pendulum exercises from two weeks, the patient began to mobilise his arms and he achieved a full range of movements. This unusual mechanism of injury has not previously been reported and we recommend that bench pressing should be performed with a weight that can be "locked" to prevent crushing of the user. Furthermore, the bench should be narrow enough to allow the shoulders to overhang, allowing greater extension in the abducted position without the arm pivoting on the edge of the bench.
