Abstract
Inferior shoulder dislocation/Luxatio erecta is the rarest of all gleno-humeral joint dislocations. Bilateral inferior dislocations are therefore extremely rare. Mostly they happen after a seizure episode, electrocution or in sports injuries. We describe a 29 year-old male who inferiorly dislocated his both shoulders, after an accidental fall. The dislocation was manually reduced at the emergency department. After 12 months of conservative treatment with physical therapy, the range of motion and muscle strength of the shoulder recovered satisfactorily for the patient’s demands.
