title: [Conservative therapy of shoulder dislocation].
abstract: There is no undivided agreement in how long a shoulder ought to be fixed after a luxation. Having made a distinction between the terms of habitual and posttraumatic recidivous luxation of the shoulder, the results of a retrospective analysis of 118 luxations of the shoulder are shown, with 75 outpatients after a primary luxation. In most cases the fixation in the Desault-dressing was maintained for three to four days and was followed by early-functional physiotherapeutical after-treatment. Ten patients = 14.9% developed posttraumatic recidivous, and eight patients = 10.4% habitual luxations. In comparison with other analyses, these results show that with a short time of fixation of three to four days there is no higher tendency to reluxation than with a longer time of fixation. If a habitual or a posttraumatic recidivous luxation occurs, operative treatment is required.
