[Results of treatment of fresh traumatic dislocation of the shoulder]

This is a report about the treatment and the results of 100 patients with primary traumatic dislocations of the shoulder. Dependent on the age of the patient the shoulder was kept in place after the reduction either by a shoulder-arm-plaster-cast for 3 weeks or by Desault's bandage for 4-7 days. 68 patients were controlled clinically and roentgenologically 1-6 years after the dislocation. The sight was kept on the function of the joint, on the development of calcifications of the capsule and on the occurrence of recurrent dislocations.
