ABSTRACT

In order of frequency, the shoulder and elbow are the most frequently dislocated joints. Their diagnosis requires a detailed physical examination complemented with imaging studies. The simultaneous presentation of these two pathologies is infrequent and is associated with high-energy mechanisms. We present the case of an 86-year-old female patient admitted to the emergency department secondary to a fall from her own height that resulted in erect shoulder dislocation with posterior ipsilateral elbow dislocation without associated bone injury. It is managed by conservative treatment and after reduction, the patient presents immediate improvement with recovery of the arches of mobility of the elbow and shoulder. To the best of our knowledge and according to our literature review, this would be the second case of this type and the first to present after a low-energy lesion mechanism.
