Bilateral luxatio erecta humeri and bilateral knee dislocations in the same patient.

Foad A, LaPrade RF.

Quality Care Center and Surgery Center, Clinton, Iowa, USA.

Bilateral knee dislocations seldom occur, and fewer than a dozen cases of bilateral luxatio erecta humeri (erect dislocation of the shoulder) have been reported. Here we present the case of a patient who sustained bilateral knee dislocations and bilateral luxatio erecta humeri in a motorcycle accident. Transient neurologic compromise resolved with closed reduction of the bilateral shoulder and left knee dislocations. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a patient with this combination of injuries.
