Abstract
Luxatio axillaris erecta is compartively rare. There has been no report of a post reposition of Luxatio axillaris erecta in arthroscopic surgery, We report a case of luxatio axillaris erecta caused by traffic accident. The patient was a seventy-one years old male. Three weeks after reposition, ROM exercise was started. But, constricture was severe and the patient had much pain. Arthrography, CT-arthrography and MRI suggested a rotator cuff tear accompanied with laburum injury. Arthroscopic surgery and cuff repair (Mc Laughlin method) were performed. The result of the surgery was excellent and the patient experienced complete relief from pain and constricture after surgery.
