Bilateral luxatio erecta remains a rare condition, with less than 30 cases currently described in the literature. The authors present a case of bilateral inferior glenohumeral dislocation after a fall with low-energy trauma, treated with closed reduction and immobilization for 3 weeks followed by a physiotherapy program for functional rehabilitation. After 1 year of follow-up, the patient presented satisfactory results with a complete recovery of the previous mobility arch of both shoulders.
