Abstract
Luxatio erecta humeri is an uncommon condition, and only 16 previous bilateral cases have been reported. We present a case of bilateral luxatio erecta humeri associated with unilateral brachial plexus injury and concomitant bilateral rotator cuff tear treated nonoperatively. Seven months after trauma the patient had a good recovery and was able to perform routine daily activities.
