New technique for reduction of irreducible anterior glenohumeral shoulder dislocation

Patients education of a self-reduction technique for anterior glenohumeral dislocation of shoulder.

BACKGROUND : Anterior dislocation of the shoulder (glenohumeral joint) is one of the most prevalent dislocations. Following a first dislocation recurrence rates of up to 80% have been reported. Many patients will seek medical assistance for reduction of the shoulder after each of these recurrent dislocations. We describe the results of reduction of anterior glenohumeral dislocation using a modi...

Shoulder kinesthesia after anterior glenohumeral joint dislocation.

The purpose of this study was to examine kinesthesia in normal (uninjured) shoulders and in shoulders with a history of glenohumeral joint dislocations. Both shoulders of 10 healthy subjects and 8 subjects with a history of unilateral anterior dislocation were tested for accuracy of angular reproduction, threshold to sensation of movement, and end-range reproduction using a motor-driven shoulde...

Reduction of anterior dislocation of the shoulder.

Irreducible acute anterior dislocation of the shoulder: interposed scapularis.

Case report. A 55-year-old man felt heavily, dislocating his left shoulder. He was seen within an hour of injury, and radiographs confirmed an anterior dislocation with no associated fracture (Fig. 1). With the patient sedated, manipulative reduction by Kocher’s manoeuvre was attempted. This appeared to be successful, and an anteroposterior radiograph was thought to confirm reduction, although ...
