%X Luxatio erecta is an unusual humeral dislocation. It is frequently associated with neurovascular injuries and concomitant fracture. As such, they require a thorough clinical and imaging evaluation. The vast majority of cases may be treated with closed reduction alone, but infrequently, some may require an open procedure. The authors report a case of luxatio erecta with fracture of greater tuberosity to underline the rarity of this entity, and to describe the mechanism of this injury and the therapeutic modalities
