Shoulder injury, and more in particular bilateral involvement caused by electric shock, is extremely rare. We report a case of bilateral fracture of the greater tuberosity with anterior dislocation on the right shoulder following electric shock. The reduction of the right shoulder was accomplished using the Kocher maneuver. After reduction, Velpeau slings were applied for 4 weeks and then gentle physical therapy was carried out. At the last examination, which was 4 months after injury, recovery was uneventful for both shoulders. It must always be kept in mind that fractures and dislocations of the shoulder might occur in electrical injury. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment lead to better outcomes
