Abstract
Erecta dislocation or lower glenohumeral dislocation is a rare form of shoulder dislocation, Neurovascular complications are particularly common in this type of dislocation due to the significant displacement of the humeral head and the severity of the causal trauma. We report a case of Erecta dislocation complicated by brachial plexus paralysis in a 55-year-old woman managed conservatively. The patient underwent closed reduction under general anesthesia. Neurological Recovery took 10 mounths. At 1 year follow-up the functional result was satisfactory.
