Abstract
Two rare event occurred in one patient: luxation erecta, an unusual form of dislocation at the shoulder, and axillary artery injury, hitherto undescribed in this type of dislocation. The arterial injury consisted of rupture of the intima with secondary thrombosis and occlusion. Following resection of the contused artery and saphenous vein graft replacement normal circulation was restored.Keywords
