Abstract
Simultaneous anterior glenohumeral dislocations are rare in occurrence and difficult to diagnose and treat. Here, we present a case of a 33-year-old male with simultaneous anterior glenohumeral fracture dislocation after an episode of seizure. Closed reduction of both the shoulders was performed. Displaced greater tuberosity fracture fixation was done through deltoid splitting approach using cannulated cancellous screws. Fracture union was achieved at three months of follow-up with a good functional outcome. Early diagnosis and reduction provide a good functional outcome.
