Clinical Trial[Immobilisation of the shoulder in external rotation after traumatic first-time dislocation--what is reasonable? A retrospective survey].
Immobilisation in external rotation has become a new option in the therapy of the traumatically dislocated shoulder. Brace comfort and patient's satisfaction with this kind of conservative treatment are evaluated in a retrospective survey. ⋯ Despite the uncomfortable arm position during immobilisation the therapy in an external rotation brace showed a high acceptance. In addition to previous results regarding reposition of the labroligamentous complex it appears to be proven a suitable therapy for first-time traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation.
