Abstract:
We report here on a case of bilateral inferior shoulder dislocations (bilateral luxatio erecta) with greater tuberosity fracture that was caused by vehicle trauma. We manually reduced the dislocations at the emergency room. After 7 months of conservative treatment with rehabilitation, the range of motion and muscle strength of the shoulders recovered to almost normal.
