Luxatio erecta (erect dislocation) is an uncommon form of dislocation of the shoulder. One typical case is described. It is important to recognize an erect dislocation of the shoulder, since the method of reduction differs from that used for the more common forms of dislocation. Immediate reduction is important in order to reduce risk of serious neurological damage.
