Global shoulder instability in a seizure patient: anterior and posterior glenoid reconstruction with humeral head reconstruction. A case report
Abstract
Shoulder instability in the setting of seizure disorders represents a uniquely challenging clinical problem with profound implications on patient function and quality of life. Due to the inherent difficulty of achieving consistent seizure control, many patients present with a prolonged history of recurrent instability spanning several years, often accompanied by innumerable dislocation events that further complicate management2. As a result, glenoid bone loss and humeral head defects, collectively termed bipolar bone defects, are frequently encountered and require careful evaluation of both sides of the joint.
