Short-term shoulder immobilization (3-4 days) after luxation is as effective as longer periods, reducing the risk of recurrent shoulder instability. Surgical intervention is necessary for habitual or posttraumatic recurrent luxations.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Shoulder luxation (dislocation) management lacks consensus on optimal immobilization duration.
  • Distinguishing between habitual and posttraumatic recurrent luxations is crucial for treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of short-term shoulder immobilization (3-4 days) following primary luxation.
  • To compare recurrence rates with historical data using longer immobilization periods.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 118 shoulder luxation cases.
  • Inclusion of 75 outpatients treated for primary shoulder luxation.
  • Standardized 3-4 day Desault-dressing fixation followed by early physiotherapy.

Main Results:

  • 14.9% (10 patients) developed posttraumatic recurrent luxations.
  • 10.4% (8 patients) developed habitual luxations.
  • Short-term fixation showed no increased tendency for reluxation compared to longer durations.

Conclusions:

  • A 3-4 day immobilization period for shoulder luxation is effective and does not increase recurrence risk.
  • Early functional rehabilitation is a key component of post-luxation care.
  • Operative treatment is indicated for established habitual or posttraumatic recurrent shoulder luxations.
