ABSTRACT
This case report presents a 21-year-old male construction worker with ipsilateral inferior shoulder and posterior elbow dislocations, accompanied with other injuries. Such a combination of injury undoubtedly occurs; however, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case. The prompt closed reductions without waiting for anesthesia were accomplished without the help of an assistant using a novel technique. The patient returned to his job with considerable recovery of motion and strength despite his permanent paralysis of the deltoid muscle and he was still employed as a worker after four years. He was abducting his arm by using his accessory muscles, which contribute to abduction when arm is externally rotated. The maneuver described in the report can be used to reduce all inferior shoulder dislocations and it is worth to know that working at a job requiring high level of activity is still possible despite a permanent loss of axillary nerve function.
