AbstractLuxatio erecta humeri is the rarest type of glenohumeral dislocation, which has been reported to be associated with humeral fracture, rotator cuff tear and neurovascular injury. To our knowledge, a single-sided acute inferior glenohumeral dislocation associated with humeral greater tuberosity fracture and axillary nerve injury has not yet been reported. Here, we reported a traumatic first-time inferior shoulder dislocation from a construction worker who got hyperflexion of the left shoulder when fell and grasped the railing causing. The patient underwent traction counter-traction closed reduction followed by proper immobilization, and rehabilitation therapy. At thirteen months follow-up, the patient had returned to the workload that required high stress on shoulder joint with an excellent outcome.Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
