Abstract
Materials and Methods A total of 19 patients who were admitted to the emergency department with the diagnosis of anterior shoulder dislocation participated in this study. The diagnosis of shoulder dislocation was established in the emergency department with physical examination and anteroposterior shoulder radiography. The method was applied only once to the patients in the sitting position by the same physician without using any help, traction, anesthesia, analgesia, and myorelaxant. Results The mean age of the patients was 37.3 ± 13.1 years. Among them, 36.8% (n=7) were female and 63.2% (n=12) were male. Recurrent dislocations were observed in 21.1% (n=4) of the patients. The success rate of the method was 94.7% (n=18). No complication was noted in the patients. The mean procedure time was 243 ± 38 seconds. Conclusion Prakash's method is a safe method for anterior shoulder dislocations that can be quickly performed with no need for sedation, assistance, and traction and has a high success rate.
Highlights
Being one of the most mobile joints of the body, the glenohumeral joint is prone to dislocations due to its high joint mobility
More than 20 methods have been suggested for the treatment of glenohumeral joint dislocations, which are often treated conservatively [5, 6]. e success rate and complications vary according to the method used [7]
It was found in screening of the hospital records that 25 patients presented to the emergency department of our hospital with anterior shoulder dislocation between January 2019 and April 2019
Summary
Being one of the most mobile joints of the body, the glenohumeral joint is prone to dislocations due to its high joint mobility. More than 20 methods have been suggested for the treatment of glenohumeral joint dislocations, which are often treated conservatively [5, 6]. E success rate and complications vary according to the method used [7]. Ere are numerous reduction methods reported for the conservative treatment of acute anterior dislocations. There is still an ongoing search for an optimal method given the procedure time, possible complications, success rates, and need for sedation/ analgesia in existing methods. A total of 19 patients who were admitted to the emergency department with the diagnosis of anterior shoulder dislocation participated in this study. Prakash’s method is a safe method for anterior shoulder dislocations that can be quickly performed with no need for sedation, assistance, and traction and has a high success rate
