Abstract

Posterior dislocation of the shoulder is extremely rare condition. Common etiologic causes are extreme trauma, epilepsy and electroconvulsive therapy. Most cases are misdiagnosed due to inappropriate phisical examination and/or inadequate radiologic evaluation. In the literature several operation technics are described. Here we present a case with posterior dislocation of left shoulder after succesful treatment of right shoulder.
