Abstract

Leuxatio Erecta or inferior dislocation of the shoulder joint is rare and is caused by hyperabduction injury. The clinical appearance is characteristic, with the arm locked in an elevated position. Radilogically, the shaft of the humerus is directed upwards and the humeral head lies inferior to the glenoid fossa, although not in contact with it. We experienced a case of luxstio erecta associated with greater tuberosity and surgical neck fracture.
