“…The most common bilateral shoulder dislocation is posterior resulting from seizure or convulsion due to epilepsy, electric shock or other reasons [ 2 , 3 ]. Simultaneous bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation is usually of traumatic origin and occurs rarely [ 4 , 5 ]. Seizure has been charged in the past for bilateral anterior shoulder fracture-dislocation [ 1 , 6 , 7 ].…”

“…5,10,18 Forced hyperabduction, when the acromion acts as a pivot to lever the humeral head outside the joint, can cause erect dislocation. 15 Cresswell and Smith reported a case in which the fulcrum for the dislocation was not the acromion, but the fixed weight bench. 5 To establish the possible mechanism of dislocation in the present case we performed manipulations on both the shoulders of a cadaver and observed it under the image intensifier.…”

“…No other information about the exact mechanism of fall were found in one report [ 53 ]. In the most uncommon mechanism of injury, patients’ arms were trapped in a cement mixer when the machine started accidentally [ 58 ], this mechanism of injury was categorized by the authors as a work-related one.…”

“…TBLE is highly associated with neurovascular injuries. In our systematic review, out of 42 cases, neurological deficits were found in 18 [ 10 , 19 , 21 , 26 , 29 – 31 , 35 , 36 , 38 , 39 , 41 , 47 – 49 , 52 , 53 , 58 ] (42,8%) including 1 case with bilateral complete brachial plexus tear [ 38 ] (accompanied with rotator cuff tear). On the other hand, vascular complications have been found in only one case.…”

Introduction Even though shoulder dislocation is thought to be the most common dislocation treated in the Emergency Department, inferior ones, known as Luxatio Erecta, comprise only 0.5% of them. Taking into consideration the rareness of unilateral Luxatio Erecta, bilateral cases should be even fewer. The purpose of this paper is to identify the reported number of cases of Traumatic Bilateral Luxatio Erecta in the literature over the last 100 years and to summarize the mechanism of injury, the initial management, and the complications of these patients. Materials and methods We performed a systematic review of the literature regarding Traumatic Bilateral Luxatio Erecta. All articles published until 31st of December 2022 in PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched using the terms “luxatio erecta”, ‘inferior dislocation”, and “bilateral”. Results Eighty-two articles were retrieved from PubMed and Google Scholar search. Forty-four of them were initially included in our review. Six additional articles meeting the inclusion criteria were found from cross-references. Conclusion The presence of this injury is extremely rare with only 51 cases in the literature. The incidence of concomitant injuries and complications seems to be extremely high and neurological deficits were detected on 42.8% of patients with Bilateral Luxatio Erecta. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review of the literature regarding Traumatic Bilateral Luxatio Erecta that includes articles not only in English, a fact that provides more reliability on the estimation of the real number of cases of this rare injury compared to any other review on this subject to date.
