Immobilization in External Rotation Versus Internal Rotation After Primary Anterior Shoulder Dislocation: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Whelan DB, Kletke SN, Schemitsch G, Chahal J. Whelan DB, et al. Am J Sports Med. 2016 Feb;44(2):521-32. doi: 10.1177/0363546515585119. Epub 2015 Jun 26. Am J Sports Med. 2016. PMID: 26116355 Review.
BACKGROUND: The recurrence rate after primary anterior shoulder dislocation is high, especially in young, active individuals. Recent studies have suggested external rotation immobilization as a method to reduce the rate of recurrent shoulder …
