Abstract
Initial, traumatic shoulder dislocations, particularly in an anterior direction, are among the most common shoulder injuries. Traditionally, nonsurgical treatment for first-time shoulder dislocations consists of immobilization in internal rotation (IR). However, there is a high rate of recurrence after this course of treatment. Recent reports indicate that immobilization in external rotation (ER) instead of IR may more effectively reduce recurrence rates, resulting in a viable nonsurgical treatment option for patients sustaining an initial shoulder dislocation.
