[A new self-repositioning technique for fresh, anterior-lower shoulder dislocation].
In case of a shoulder dislocation there is always a question of a safe and atraumatic reduction technique if possible without analgetics or even general anesthesia. The dislocated humeral head is reduced anatomically with the help of the patient's own body weight under muscular relaxation without injuring manipulations. Even with displaced fractures of the greater tuberosity or an impression fracture of the humeral head successful reductions were obtained. We have been using this method for over three years with a primary success rate of over 60%.
