Abstract:
The case of a 36-year-old man who sustained a luxatio erecta dislocation of his shoulder is reported. He had persistent displacement of a fracture of the greater tuberosity after closed reduction of the shoulder. The two-part fracture required operative treatment. This is the first occurrence of this complication reported in the literature.
