Bipolar dislocation of Luxatio Erecta and posterior dislocation of the elbow is extremely rare. After clinical examinations (attention to pain, swelling, and deformity of the shoulder and elbow joints and neurovascular examinations), the necessary radiography was performed for the patient at the level of his tolerance: AP of the shoulder and side imaging of the elbow. Closed reduction was carried out with emergency maneuvers, followed by physiotherapy. Good result was obtained in the 6 weeks follow-up the examination of the adjacent joints of a dislocated limb is an important issue and must be emphasized.
