Episode 969: Shoulder Reduction

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • There are many techniques for reducing a shoulder dislocation
  • A recent study discussed a new variation of closed reduction technique: wrist-clamping shoulder-lifting
    • The patient is in a sitting position
    • The provider holds the wrist of the injured arm with both hands and slowly rotates the arm to 90 degrees of abduction and 60 degrees of external rotation
    • After this traction, the arm is slowly moved to 45 degrees of abduction and 60 degrees of external rotation
    • The provider then secures the patient's wrist between the provider's knees and places their hand on the axilla to gently lift the shoulder upward for successful reduction
  • There were 36 patients with shoulder dislocations in this study, and all 36 dislocations were successfully reduced with this technique
    • There were no neurovascular complications or fractures
    • No sedation or medication was required
    • All procedures were performed by a single provider without assistance
