Abstract

Bilateral asymmetric fracture dislocation of a shoulder joint is a rare subtype of shoulder dislocation and refers to the simultaneous fracture-dislocations of the glenohumeral joints in opposite directions. This paper reports a case of a 43-year-old male patient with a bilateral asymmetric fracture dislocation of the shoulder joints following a hypoglycemic shock who was treated with arthroscopic Bankart repair and the arthroscopic modified McLaughlin procedure. To our knowledge, this case is the first in domestic literature, and therefore the authors report this case with the treatment outcome and a literature review.
