Abstract :

 Posterior dislocation of the shoulder is not a common injury (2–4 % of all shoulder dislocation) [1,2]. It is difficult to diagnose if only AP radiographic projections are obtained. The incidence is 6 per 1,000,000. Unilateral dislocations occur due to trauma.   Electrical injury is a rare cause of posterior shoulder dislocation. Less than 5% of posterior shoulder dislocations are caused by electrical shocks [3]. The deformity includes internal rotation, flexion and adduction.
