[Has the duration of cast fixation after shoulder dislocations an influence on the frequency of recurrent dislocation? (author's transl)].
102 primary shoulder dislocations have been evaluated. Some were retained in a Velpeau bandage reinforced with plaster immediately after reposition for three weeks, others were treated with a sling or tube gauze only. The frequency of recurrent dislocation in both groups was compared. It could be demonstrated that the results were equal for both groups. We conclude that fixation with Velpeau Sling and cast reinforcement does not significantly influence the occurrence of recurrent dislocations.
