title: [Luxatio humeri erecta. A rare form of inferior shoulder dislocation].
abstract: In patients with erect dislocation of the shoulder, the arm is typically locked in an upright position. This rare variant of subglenoid luxation always causes damage to the ligamentous structures of the joint and sometimes additional complications arise from neurovascular lesions. Two recent cases are reported here. The mechanism of injury, therapeutic measures and prognosis are discussed.
