“…The finding that dislocations in younger patients were more easily reduced than dislocations in the elderly concurs with previous studies 5,6 . Factors that may account for this difference include earlier presentation, a higher likelihood of recurrent dislocation, and a lower incidence of associated fracture in the younger population.…”

Objective: To examine the efficacy of external rotation as initial treatment for anterior shoulder dislocation. Design: Prospective uncontrolled study of the efficacy and adverse effects of external rotation when used as the initial technique to reduce anterior shoulder dislocation. Results: Ninety two cases of anterior shoulder dislocation were treated over an 18 month period. External rotation was used successfully to reduce the dislocation in 72 cases (78%). A further nine cases were reduced by external rotation with the aid of traction (total 88%). Six of eight cases complicated by fracture of a humeral tuberosity were reduced by external rotation. Twenty six reductions were achieved without the use of analgesia. Two cases of nerve palsy were seen, both associated with the use of traction. Conclusions: External rotation is a simple and safe method of reduction for anterior dislocations of the shoulder. The technique is recommended as the initial reduction technique for anterior shoulder dislocations. The use of traction should be discouraged.

“…2). 21, 22 Traditionally this technique is performed without traction, but it can be modified by applying traction. In a self-reduction technique described by Dudkiewicz the patient abduces and externally rotates his affected arm with his other arm and pushes the humeral head himself in superior and lateral position 23 …”

ObjectivesOur objective is to provide a systematic and technical guide on how to reduce a shoulder dislocation, based on techniques that have been described in literature for patients with anterior and posterior shoulder instability.Materials and methodsA PubMed and EMBASE query was performed, screening all relevant literature on the closed reduction techniques. Studies regarding open reduction techniques and studies with fracture dislocations were excluded.ResultsIn this study we give an overview of 23 different techniques for closed reduction and 17 modifications of these techniques.DiscussionIn this review article we present a complete overview of the techniques, that have been described in the literature for closed reduction for shoulder dislocations. This manuscript can be regarded as a clinical guide how to perform a closed reduction maneuver, including several technical tips and tricks to optimize the success rate and to avoid complications.ConclusionThere are 23 different reduction techniques with 17 modifications of these techniques. Knowledge of the different techniques is highly important for a good reduction.

“…Treatment is directed toward avoiding complications by prompt reduction of the dislocations and providing congruent and stable joints [38] [39]. Pathological changes occur, especially about the hip.…”

Trauma has assumed a pre-eminent epidemic proportion in the hierarchy of diseases afflicting the growing populace in Nigeria. Research into traumatic dislocations is relatively small. Road traffic accident is the commonest cause of traumatic dislocation in Nigeria currently. Human factors and collapse of road infrastructures are the major reasons. Young, productive, adult males are still the most affected while the rarity among children is again highlighted. Careful and detailed evaluation of patients is advised as certain conditions can mask the presence of a dislocation. Lack of diagnostic and therapeutic facilities in most centres in Nigeria makes this difficult, with clinicians resorting to clinical evaluation only and probably supported by only plain X-rays in some cases. Most cases are amenable to closed surgical management. Identification of long term complications is a major challenge, because of the poor follow up culture of our patients. Good road design and maintenance, enforcement of road regulations, manpower development and improvements in diagnostic and therapeutic facilities in all centres will reduce the burden of traumatic dislocations on the populace.
