[Traumatic bilateral posterior shoulder dislocation after a seizure].

We report a rare case in which a 52-year-old man was found lying on the floor of a sauna. He was confused and complained of pain in both shoulders. He had previously had surgery of a benign meningioma.

Primary repair versus conservative treatment of first-time traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder: a randomized study with 10-year follow-up.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare long-term results after surgical and conservative primary treatment of first-time traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation.

Methods: Arthroscopic diagnosis after first-time traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation was performed, and in cases of a Baker type 1, 2, or 3 lesion, patients were randomized either to conservative treatment with a fixed sling for 1 week followed by a rehabilitation program or to open repair with a similar rehabilitation program.

Results: In this study 76 patients (14 female and 62 male patients), aged 15 to 39 years, were randomized to surgical repair (n = 37) or conservative treatment (n = 39).
