Description
This unique case stresses importance of a thorough physical exam and meticulous radiograph evaluation, especially in uncooperative patients. CT evaluation is recommended when radiographs are inconclusive but the physical exam is concerning. Fortunately, the injury was caught and managed during his admission. Bilateral shoulder injuries are uncommon but, when sustained, are most often related to electrocution or seizure activity. This patient benefited from multidisciplinary approach with Orthopedics (trauma & sports fellowship trained), Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Medicine to manage his shoulder and spine injuries, alcohol use disorder, and seizure activity
