Introduction: Luxatio erecta humeri (LEH) is a rare type of inferior shoulder dislocation (ISD) and easy misdiagnosed or missed. We reported a case of a traumatic LEH with a radiological interpretation of ISD. We felt that the physical presentation was compatible with the LHE type and the closed reduction by the traction and countertraction method we accomplished without complications.
Case Report: We present a case of 38-year-old man with a LEH. We performed for the early diagnosis the clinical examination and the X-rays. We felt that the physical presentation was compatible with an erecta dislocation of the humerus, whereas radiologically, this injury was interpreted simply as the inferior dislocation of the right shoulder. The closed reduction by the traction and countertraction method was accomplished without complications. We kept the reduction with a Velpeau arm sling shoulder immobilizer brace for 3 weeks and after a shoulder rehabilitation, the outcome was good.
Conclusion: The luxation erecta humeri is a type of ISD still little known but the singular and unmistakable physical presentation should allow for an early diagnosis to obtain an easy closed reduction and a good outcome.

Article Synopsis
- A 68-year-old woman experienced a rare inferior shoulder dislocation in her glenohumeral joint, which is uncommon compared to other types of shoulder dislocations.
- After the dislocation was successfully treated and her neurovascular status was checked, she recovered well without any common complications linked to this injury.
- The report aims to explain how this type of injury occurs, what typical symptoms or presentations are like, and review treatment methods and potential complications.

Erecta dislocation/inferior dislocation of the shoulder is considered an uncommon injury and the present knowledge stems from case reports or compilation of cases. We believe that there are reasons to believe that the injury is much more prevalent than previously stated. In this review, we discuss the mechanism of injury and based on the number of patients with unusual injury patterns at our hospitals and in the literature, the anatomical features of different variants of inferior dislocation are described.
