It is also called bipolar humeral dislocation or floating humerus. Nerve involvement is sometimes associated but radial nerve impairment is yet to be described. We report a case of bipolar dislocation of the humerus associated with radial nerve impairment occurring on a young 22 years old. Non-surgical treatment was undertaken with a reduction of the elbow followed by a reduction of the shoulder under general anaesthesia. Nerve and functional recovery were achieved at two and ten months respectively.展开更多
