CASE Axillary nerve rupture without shoulder joint fracture or dislocation in contact sports is very rare. To date, there has been no detailed report on such cases. We present 2 rare cases of axillary nerve rupture in contact sports who were successfully treated with free nerve grafting. CONCLUSION In contact sports, the deltoid muscle is sometimes paralyzed temporarily after a collision. However, similar to our cases, the axillary nerve can be lacerated without fracture or dislocation. It is necessary to watch the course of paralysis carefully and consider nerve reconstruction if it does not recover.
