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.

“…Tomovic et al [8] in a series of 248 shoulder dislocations found 244 anterior dislocations (98.4 %), three posterior dislocations (1.2 %), and 1 inferior glenohumeral dislocation associated with a fracture of the greater tuberosity of the humerus (0.4 %).…”

Neglected dislocation of the shoulder is a rare condition with some cases of anterior and posterior dislocation being reported. We report a case with a fracture dislocation of the proximal humerus with the dislocated head lying inferior to the glenoid. We also report on the surgical management of a case with this extremely rare condition which required shortening of the distal fragment to reduce tissue tension.

“…axillary nerve palsy (60%) which is usually temporary, followed by humeral fracture (37%), rotator cuff tear (12%), and rarely compartment syndrome and surgical neck fracture. 5 Diminished range of motion after the injury can be caused by adhesive capsulitis within the capsule and inferior axillary fold. 6…”
