Implication

Retrospective analysis documents shoulder instabilities and associated injuries in epilepsy, suggesting significant surgical interventions are often needed.

Key Points

This study aims to analyze shoulder dislocations during epileptic seizures and related treatment options.
Retrospective analysis of 72 shoulders in 56 patients with shoulder dislocation during seizures.
Imaging analysis using CT and MRI for detecting glenoid defects and Hill-Sachs lesions.
Evaluation of surgical treatment modalities for dislocated shoulders.
72 shoulder dislocations observed, with 60% being anterior and 30% posterior.
Significant differences in defect sizes were noted between first-time and recurrent dislocations (HSL width: 13 mm vs. 15 mm; HSL length: 24 mm vs. 29 mm; p-values < 0.01).
46.4% of patients sustained fractures, primarily of the proximal humerus, and 62.5% underwent surgical treatment.
