Shoulder dislocation is the commonest dislocation presenting to the emergency department, anterior being more common than posterior. The latter being less common has a tendency of being missed; this is supported by many cases in the literature. Kocher's method is one of the many methods of reducing anterior dislocation; there are many reported complications of employing this method.To the best ...

We undertook a prospective study in 51 male patients aged between 17 and 27 years to ascertain whether immobilisation after primary traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder in external rotation was more effective than immobilisation in internal rotation in preventing recurrent dislocation in a physically active population. Of the 51 patients, 24 were randomised to be treated by a traditio...

Combined HAGL and Bankart Lesions in an Adolescent Athlete with Ligamentous Laxity Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation

Traumatic dislocations of the shoulder commonly present to emergency departments (EDs). Immediate closed reduction of both anterior and posterior glenohumeral dislocations is recommended and is frequently performed in the ED. Recurrence of dislocation is common, as anteroinferior labral tears (Bankart lesions) are present in many anterior shoulder dislocations.14,15,18,23 Immobilization of the ...

Glenohumeral instability following seizures is usually of the posterior type. Rarely patients can have anterior dislocation of the shoulder following an epileptic seizure. Although these are treated similar to usual anterior dislocations of the shoulder they need regular follow up to detect any recurrent shoulder instability for which the treatment will involve skeletal reconstruction. We repor...

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...

Luxation erecta is a rare form of shoulder dislocation, bilateral inferior dislocation very and few cases have been published in the literature. We present case male, fell down ladder, presented with luxation treated close reduction, immobilisation rehabilitation.

BACKGROUND The most common neurological defect in traumatic anterior glenohumeral dislocation is isolated axillary nerve palsy. Most recover spontaneously; however, some have persistent axillary neuropathy. An intact rotator cuff may compensate for an isolated axillary nerve injury; however, given the high rate of rotator cuff pathology with advancing age, patients with an axillary nerve injury...

BACKGROUND There is still debate about the best treatment option for highly recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation in patients with severe impairment of the anterior capsule and/or recurrence after either arthroscopic or open capsulorrhaphy. Materials and. METHODS The clinical and radiological findings of 7 patients treated with an open capsulorrhaphy stabilized with an "8 plate" for a highl...

OBJECTIVE To review the outcomes of arthroscopic stabilisation procedures for the treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Regional hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS Patients receiving arthroscopic stabilisation procedures for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation between 1999 and 2003. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Functional outcomes including pa...
