Bilateral simultaneous shoulder dislocations are very rare injuries. Majority of the cases in the literature are posterior shoulder dislocations due to widespread contractions seen in grand-map epileptic seizures, electrocutions, and electric shocks. The literature shows us that bilateral anterior shoulder dislocations are generally seen after trauma related injuries rather than subsequent to epileptic seizures. A 39-year-old male presented to the emergency department our clinic with bilateral anterior glenohumeral dislocation following grand mal epileptic seizure. The patient was treated conservatively with close reduction, Velpeau bandage, PT&R, and neurology consultation. Due to the bilateral displacement of patients shoulders and his age treatment was planned conservatively.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) stress techniques-including single-leg stress radiographs, Telos, and KT-1000 arthrometer-are highly accessible and can provide additional diagnostic information to assess ACL and ACL graft integrity. The degree of anterior tibial translation (ATT) may be useful in guiding treatment when a diagnosis on magnetic resonance imaging is not conclusive or for judging if additional treatments, such as anterolateral complex augmentation, may be necessary.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of increasing posterior tibial slope (PTS) on baseline tibial position (BTP) and side-to-side differences (SSD) in ATT.
