    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Traumatology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Luxatio erecta, or inferior shoulder dislocation, is an uncommon injury.
    • It results from a hyperabduction mechanism, forcing the humeral head inferiorly.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the characteristic clinical and radiographic presentation of luxatio erecta.
    • To highlight potential complications associated with this rare shoulder dislocation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical presentations of inferior shoulder dislocations.
    • Analysis of radiographic findings in affected patients.
    • Discussion of associated injuries.

    Main Results:

    • Characteristic clinical sign: arm locked in an elevated position.

  • Radiographic findings include superiorly directed humeral shaft and inferiorly displaced humeral head.
  • Associated injuries may involve fractures, brachial plexus, or axillary artery.

    • Conclusions:

    • Luxatio erecta has a distinct clinical and radiographic profile.
    • Prompt recognition and management are crucial to address potential complications.
    • Radiographic evaluation is essential for diagnosis and identifying associated injuries.
