  • Title: Reduction of anterior glenohumeral dislocations: a new closed reduction technique.
    Author: Gage MJ, Park BK, Strauss EJ.
    Journal: Phys Sportsmed; 2017 Feb; 45(1):22-25. PubMed ID: 27973978.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: A new closed reduction technique for anterior glenohumeral dislocations and tuberosity fracture dislocations is introduced. METHODS: Forty-one consecutive patients with an acute anterior glenohumeral dislocation or tuberosity fracture dislocation underwent closed reduction by an orthopaedic surgeon employing this new method. RESULTS: Closed reduction was successful in 88% of patients using the reduction maneuver. Associated fracture with glenohumeral dislocation did not influence the success rate of the reduction maneuver. An assistant was needed in 15% of cases. No complications related to the reduction maneuver were noted amongst the cohort. CONCLUSION: This novel reduction technique is safe demonstrating excellent success rates both for anterior shoulder dislocations and tuberosity fracture-dislocations.
