Unusual inferior dislocation of shoulder: reduction by two-step maneuver: a case report
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 11/03/09

Agarwal DK et al. – The authors present an unusual case of recurrent luxatio erecta in which the arm transformed later into an adducted position resembling the more common anterior shoulder dislocation. Such a case has not been described before in English literature. Closed reduction by the two–step maneuver was successful with a single attempt. MRI revealed posterior labral tear and a Hill Sachs variant lesion on the superolateral aspect of humeral head. Immobilisation in a chest–arm bandage followed by physiotherapy yielded excellent results.
