    Background: A sedation-free seated reduction technique for shoulder dislocation was demonstrated safe and effective when performed by an experienced clinician.

Method: Minimally experienced doctors performed reductions following an education session (group 2).

Success in group 1 was 100% (95% CI 95-100) and 95% (95% CI 82-99) in group 2, p = 0.06. There were no complications... View More»
