Abstract
Luxatio erecta is a rare entity of shoulder dislocation, the clinical presentation with shoulder hyperabduction and the humeral head felt in the axilae is unmistakable. Treatment of choice is closed reduction under sedation, most cases have a good prognostic. We present the case of a 68-year-old male who went to the emergency room with a diagnosis compatible with bilateral luxation erecta of the glenohumeral joint. An awake closed reduction was performed with good results and no complications.
