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.
