摘　　要：Simultaneous shoulder and elbow dislocation is an uncommon condition, with only about ten cases reported in the literature. 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.Simultaneous shoulder and elbow dislocation is an uncommon condition, with only about ten cases reported in the literature.
