    AimWe aimed to study luxatio erecta humeri using advanced imaging modalities.MethodPatients with luxatio erecta humeri and a subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or computed tomography (CT) scan were included in this study.ResultsAmong 10 identified cases, we detected 2 rotator cuff, 4 labral, and 2 inferior glenohumeral ligament tears as well as 2 glenohumeral cartilage defects. We observed six comminuted displaced greater tuberosity fractures, four anterior inferior glenoid fractures, and four impaction fractures of humeral head.ConclusionThis study provides detailed radiologic findings associated with luxatio erecta humeri using MRI and CT.Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
