| description | Introduction: Coracoid fractures associated with anterior shoulder dislocations are rare occurrence. Management of these condition requires good patient and radiological assessment. Treatment modalities of these fractures can vary from conservative treatment to operative fixation. Case report: We present a case of a young 30-year-old male who presented with a chronically locked anterior dislocation of the left shoulder and recurrent right shoulder dislocation with bilateral non-union of the coracoid. The right shoulder was managed by an open Latarjet's procedure and the left shoulder with a reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Conclusion: This rare case of bilateral coracoid process non-union, was associated with bilateral traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation. These fractures were diagnosed on radiography and the ununited coracoid was successfully used as bone graft for Latarjet's procedure. |
