Abstract
Aim
We aimed to study luxatio erecta humeri using advanced imaging modalities.
Method
Patients with luxatio erecta humeri and a subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
and/or computed tomography (CT) scan were included in this study.
Results
Among 10 identified cases, we detected 2 rotator cuff, 4 labral, and 2 inferior glenohumeral
ligament tears as well as 2 glenohumeral cartilage defects. We observed six comminuted
displaced greater tuberosity fractures, four anterior inferior glenoid fractures,
and four impaction fractures of humeral head.
Conclusion
This study provides detailed radiologic findings associated with luxatio erecta humeri
using MRI and CT.
