Case Reports
Bilateral clavicle non-unions treated with anteroinferior locking compression plating (LCP): a case report.
The author reports the case of a 30-year-old female patient with bilateral atrophic non-union of the clavicle; the latter both healed after internal fixation with a locking compression plate fixed on the anteroinferior aspect of the clavicle, combined with autologous cancellous bone grafting.

Case Reports
Combined anterior and posterior shoulder dislocation as a manifestation of a brain tumour.
Seizures are sometimes the first manifestation of a brain tumour. They may give rise to shoulder fractures or fracture-dislocations. ⋯ The posterior dislocation was recognized with a delay of 16 days. After an episode of seizures, shoulder dislocation can occur in either direction, and bilateral shoulder dislocations may not be symmetrical.
