Abstract
Erecta dislocation of the shoulder is an unusual injury, it can be uni or bilateral. We report a case of unilateral erecta dislocation in a young man who fell down during a football game. The patient was admitted to the emergency room with a fixed abducted arm. Vasculo-nervous examination was normal. Radiography confirmed the diagnosis of erecta dislocation. The patient received an orthopedic reduction followed by immobilization elbow to the body. The follow-up showed a UCLA score at 30 points. The aim of our work is to emphasize the rarity of erecta dislocation and to discuss its diagnostic, therapeutic and follow up features.
