Summary

Erect shoulder dislocations in racket sports can be mistaken for anterior dislocations. Prompt recognition and specific reduction techniques are crucial to prevent neurological damage.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Erect dislocation of the shoulder is a rare injury.
  • It can occur in athletes, particularly in racket sports.
  • Often misdiagnosed as a more common anterior dislocation.

Observation:

  • Two cases of erect shoulder dislocation during racket sports are presented.
  • Neither case involved falls or direct trauma to the shoulder.
  • One patient had an unrecognized brachial plexus injury, delaying reduction and impairing neurological recovery.

Findings:

  • Erect dislocation of the shoulder is a distinct clinical entity.
  • This injury has a high incidence of associated neurological damage.
  • Standard reduction methods for anterior dislocations may be inadequate.

Implications:

  • Clinicians must be aware of erect shoulder dislocation as a separate diagnosis.
  • Early identification and appropriate reduction techniques are essential.
  • Timely management can improve neurological outcomes and prevent long-term complications.
