Inferior shoulder dislocation also referred to as luxatio erecta is an unusual and rare type of shoulder dislocation. Its incidence is about 0.5% among all shoulder dislocations. After an exhaustive search of all the available literature we were unable to find a swimming accident case that did not have other associated injuries and an uneventful reduction. The mechanism of the injury was mostly related to direct axial loading and indirect hyperabduction lever arm. We would like to emphasize the importance of this being a swimming accident, a type of accident that requires awareness of the possibility of dangerous asphyxia injuries caused by panic in the water (swimming pool, river, lake, sea, etc.). We described the nature of the injury and review the literature concerning the mechanism of the injury and associated neurovascular impairment at admission time. We also presented a supplemental video to contribute to the education of young residents and orthopedic surgeons.

“…L'évolution peut être marquée par différentes complications selon l'âge du patient [10] ; ainsi, la complication la plus fréquente avant 45 ans est la récidive de la luxation. Après 45 ans, une lésion de la coiffe des rotateurs ainsi qu'une fracture du tubercule majeur sont possibles.…”

“…Rarely, anterior-inferior shoulder subluxation can mimic an inferior shoulder dislocation. 3 In view of this uncommon shoulder dislocation, closed reduction was not attempted by medical staff in the AED, and the orthopaedic surgeon was consulted in one case with closed reduction successfully performed in the AED. For the other two patients, closed reduction was performed by experienced orthopaedic surgeons shortly after they were admitted to the orthopaedic department.…”
