SR-SD: Self Reduction of Shoulder Dislocation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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. The investigators describe the results of reduction of anterior glenohumeral dislocation using a modified self manipulated Milch technique that can be performed by the patients themselves after simple guidance and demonstration. This method is directed to patients who are not willing or cannot have surgical stabilization and may be in a place where medical assistance is not available.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- rate of successfull self reduction [10 minutes]
the number/rate of successful reductions using each technique will be calculated
Secondary Outcome Measures
- pain using VAS during reduction [10 minutes]
patients will be asked to report pain levels using VAS during the self reduction procedure
- patient satisfaction from self reduction process using VAS [10 minutes]
patients will be asked to report their satisfaction from self reduction process using VAS
