An Innovative Traction-free Drugless Approach to Reduce Anterior Shoulder Dislocation: Axillary Massage Technique
Although shoulder dislocation is one of the most common cases encountered in emergency departments, there is still no consensus on the method of reduction. Here, we reported 9 cases in which we used a new technique that did not require any traction, medication, or patient effort. This technique can give results in 20 seconds in some cases and provides high patient satisfaction. Due to its easy applicability and high success rate, we think that the technique will make a significant contribution to the literature and clinical practice.
