Luxatio erecta : two case reports and review of the literature

Luxatio erecta, inferior dislocation of the glenohumeral joint, is a rare type of injury (1% of shoulder dislocations). In most cases the injury is caused by falling while the upper extremity is hyperabducted. We introduce two cases of consecutive patients with the same rare type of injury--walking the dog. According to the literature, the most frequently used method for the reduction of inferior shoulder dislocation is tractioncountertraction under sedation. If the patient has no other reason to be under general anesthesia or sedation, we recommend, however, administration of local anesthetics and using a less traumatic two-step manoeuvre to reduce inferior shoulder dislocation--luxatio erecta.
