Luxatio erecta with greater tuberosity fracture: A case report

Luxatio erecta is an unusual humeral dislocation. It is frequently associated with neurovascular injuries and concomitant fracture. As such, they require a thorough clinical and imaging evaluation. The vast majority of cases may be treated with closed reduction alone, but infrequently, some may requ...

description Luxatio erecta is an unusual humeral dislocation. It is frequently associated with neurovascular injuries and concomitant fracture. As such, they require a thorough clinical and imaging evaluation. The vast majority of cases may be treated with closed reduction alone, but infrequently, some may require an open procedure. The authors report a case of luxatio erecta with fracture of greater tuberosity to underline the rarity of this entity, and to describe the mechanism of this injury and the therapeutic modalities.
