Abstract
PURPOSE Dislocation of the shoulder is rare in the prehospital setting. The medical specialities of the emergency physicians are heterogeneous, and the level of experience is different. Aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, sufficiency, and need of prehospital reduction. METHODS Over 12 months, 16 rescue stations in Germany and Austria documented cases. Points of examination were: incidence of reduction, influence of pathological findings, therapy and effectiveness of reduction. RESULTS We included 70 patients. A reduction was undertaken in n = 47 (66.6 %). In n = 70 (100 %) perfusion was without pathological finding after reduction, all n = 7 (10 %) neurological pathologies declined after reduction. There was no significance in total implementation of prehospital reduction between surgeons and anaesthetists. N = 63 (90 %) of all patients received an immobilisation of the shoulder. N = 68 (97 %) of all patients were transported to a hospital. Time to arrival in hospital was in n = 50 (71.4 %) ≤10 min, in n = 17 (24.2 %) ≤20 min and in n = 3 (4.4 %) ≤30 min. CONCLUSION Implementation of reduction is independent of pathological neurological or vascular findings. Knowledge and skill is enough to perform a reduction quiet effectively in all emergency physicians. No specific technique can be recommended for prehospital use, the importance of being skilled is more important than one method. Early reduction was performed most rapidly in surgeons, but as well in the recommended time by other medical disciplines. On documented timings to admission hospital waiver of reduction is doubt. Therefore, a reduction in the prehospital setting is possible, but not obligatory.

Abstract
The practice of combat sports creates a potential for training- and sports-related injuries among military members. During the 4-year surveillance period, there were 12,108 cases of injuries associated with combat sports among active component service members; the overall incidence rate was 21.0 per 10,000 person-years (p-yrs). The rates were higher among service members who were male, Hispanic, in the youngest age groups, in the Army, junior enlisted, and in combat-specific occupations. The rate among recruit/ trainees (779.4 per 10,000 p-yrs) was more than 165 times the rate among all other active component service members (non-recruits) (4.7 per 10,000 p-yrs). Sprains, strains, and contusions accounted for more than one-half of the primary (first-listed) diagnoses associated with combat sports cases. More serious conditions such as concussions/head injuries and skull/face fractures/intracranial injuries were reported among 3.9% and 2.1% of all cases and were more common among boxing-related cases. Hand/wrist fractures were also common among boxing cases. Wrestling had comparatively greater proportions of dislocations and open wounds. Although the combat sport training provides many physical and mental benefits to the individual, safety practices should be enforced to reduce the most frequent and serious injuries.

Abstract
Shoulder instability is among the most common musculoskeletal injuries and overuse conditions in pediatric and adolescent athletes requiring orthopaedic care. Injury patterns in skeletally immature patients are unique to the developing musculoskeletal system and may be specific to the involved sport. It is helpful to have an outline of the basic diagnostic approaches and to review the literature that guides management principles in young athletes with shoulder instability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite improved results with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), questions still remain regarding certain technical aspects of the operation. One particular area of question is the effect of subscapularis repair on complication rates, dislocation, pain, and overall range of motion. Some authors suggest that when a deltopectoral approach is used, not repairing the subscapularis leads to a higher complication rate, especially for dislocation. MATERIALS AND METHODS From a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty database of 3 surgeons at 1 institution, we identified 55 patients who underwent RSA using the deltopectoral approach without subscapularis repair and 65 patients with subscapularis repair. RESULTS Complications were documented in 11 of 55 shoulders (20%) without subscapularis repair and in 13 of 65 shoulders (20%) with subscapularis repair. Dislocation occurred in 3 shoulders in the nonrepair group and in 2 shoulders in the repair group. These data indicate that nonrepair of the subscapularis did not have a significant effect on the risk of any complication, dislocation, infection, disassociation, or function. CONCLUSION Repairing the subscapularis has no appreciable effect on complication rate, dislocation events, or range of motion gains and pain relief.

Abstract
Adolescent participation in sports is at an all-time high. Younger patients also are competing with a greater intensity level, frequently playing organized sports throughout the year. Players are putting greater demands on their shoulders, making them more prone to injuries. Because these players are in the process of skeletal development, certain considerations are needed for this patient population. There is controversy regarding the appropriate treatment of these adolescent athletes- including debate on injury prevention; nonsurgical treatment versus surgical treatment; overuse injuries; and return to play after shoulder fractures, dislocations, and instability. It is valuable to review evidence in the current literature regarding recommendations for the treatment of shoulder injuries in adolescent athletes.

Abstract
Total shoulder replacement is well established as a treatment for a painful arthritic glenohumeral joint, typically leading to improved shoulder function and decreased pain. The frequency of revision surgery is increasing, as it is for hip and knee arthroplasty. The most common complications of shoulder arthroplasty can be avoided or successfully treated.

Abstract
The contracture of the deltoid muscle is an uncommon disorder. Amongst the various causes reported, post intramuscular injection and trauma leading to the fibrosis of the muscle are common. However, congenital cases are extremely rare. We report a case of congenital progressive bilateral abduction contracture left untreated for a long time leading to anteroinferior subluxation. A proximal release was performed with satisfactory outcome on both sides.

Abstract
Instability after shoulder arthroplasty is a common problem, even though complete dislocations are rare. A distinction can be made between vertical and horizontal instabilities. The most common type of vertical instability is superior migration of the humeral head caused by rotator cuff insufficiency; the shoulder prosthesis should be changed for an inverse prosthesis if the patient is symptomatic. Horizontal instabilities can certainly lead to acute dislocation, but it is far more common for them to result in eccentric loading of the glenoid and in turn to increased wear and loosening. When a prosthesis is first implanted it is essential to reproduce the original bony situation before the deformity caused by arthrosis, arthritis or fracture, as this is the only way to prevent instability. This requires careful preoperative planning including evaluation of CT or MRI scans so that during the operation it will be possible, for example, to reorientate an eccentrically torn glenoid using a bone graft or by eccentric reaming and restore the original torsion. At least as much importance attaches to the treatment of the soft tissue, meaning careful release and later closure of the rotator cuff and capsule complex, as to the bony situation. In the authors' own institution 190 prostheses were implanted between 2000 and 2006 and there were three dislocations (1.6%).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The literature provides little information detailing the incidence of traumatic shoulder instability in young, healthy athletes. HYPOTHESIS Shoulder instability is common in young athletes. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive epidemiologic study. METHODS We prospectively captured all traumatic shoulder instability events at the United States Military Academy between September 1, 2004, and May 31, 2005. Throughout this period, all new traumatic shoulder instability events were evaluated with physical examination, plain radiographs, and magnetic resonance imaging. Instability events were classified according to direction, chronicity, and type (subluxation or dislocation). Subject demographics, mechanism of injury, and sport were evaluated. RESULTS Among 4141 students, 117 experienced new traumatic shoulder instability events during the study period; 11 experienced multiple events. The mean age of these 117 subjects was 20.0 years; 101 students were men (86.3%), and 16 were women (13.7%). The 1-year incidence proportion was 2.8%. The male incidence proportion was 2.9% and the female incidence proportion was 2.5%. Eighteen events were dislocations (15.4%), and 99 were subluxations (84.6%). Of the 99 subluxations, 45 (45.5%) were primary events, while 54 (54.5%) were recurrent. Of the 18 dislocations, 12 (66.7%) were primary events, while 6 (33.3%) were recurrent. The majority of the 117 events were anterior in nature (80.3%), while 12 (10.3%) were posterior, and 11 (9.4%) were multidirectional. Forty-four percent (43.6%) of the instability events experienced were as a result of contact injuries, while 41.0% were a result of noncontact injuries, including 9 subluxations caused by missed punches during boxing; information was unavailable for the remaining 15%. CONCLUSION Glenohumeral instability is a common injury in this population, with subluxations comprising 85% of instability events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complex posterior fracture-dislocations of the shoulder are rare and often associated with poor long-term function regardless of the choice of treatment. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the epidemiology and pathological anatomy of posterior fracture-dislocations of the shoulder and to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of a specific treatment protocol of open reduction and internal fixation. METHODS We studied the demographic details of a consecutive series of twenty-six patients (twenty-eight shoulders in nineteen men and seven women with a mean age of fifty-three years) who sustained acute posterior dislocation of the humeral head with an associated Neer two, three, or four-part fracture. We used age and gender-specific local census data to assess the incidence of injury in our local population. All patients were treated by open relocation of the humeral head, bone-grafting of humeral head defects if they were causing residual shoulder instability, and internal fixation of the fracture. We recorded the prevalence of fracture complications that were clinically and radiographically apparent and assessed the functional outcome using three validated scoring systems (the Short Form-36 general health measure, the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score, and the Constant score). RESULTS The overall incidence of posterior fracture-dislocations was 0.6 per 100,000 population per year. The peak incidence was in middle-aged men, and most injuries were sustained during a seizure or a fall from a height. In all patients, there was a displaced primary fracture of the anatomic neck of the humerus, propagating from the area of an osteochondral fracture of the anterior aspect of the humeral head (a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion). We recognized three subtypes determined by the extent of the secondary fracture lines. At two years after surgery, the median Constant score was 83.5 points and the median Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score was 17.5 points. The eight components of the Short Form-36 score were not significantly different from those of age and sex-matched controls at two years. CONCLUSIONS Acute complex posterior fracture-dislocations of the shoulder are rare, but they occur in patients who are younger than the majority of other patients who sustain a proximal humeral fracture. The use of open reduction and internal fixation to treat these fractures is associated with a relatively low risk of postoperative complications, and the functional outcome is generally favorable.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence, and the factors influencing the development, of complex regional pain syndrome-I in the upper extremity in hemiplegic patients within the first 28 weeks following a stroke. We followed up 82 stroke patients. All patients were evaluated at weeks 2, 6, 14 and 28 after suffering a stroke. Outcomes were assessed using passive range of motion of shoulder, presence of subluxation, Ashworth score, Motricity index arm score, Brunnstrom stages and depression score. The incidence of complex regional pain syndrome-I was 48.8% in the first 28 weeks. Significant correlation was found between complex regional pain syndrome-I and the presence of subluxation, Ashworth score, Motricity index arm score, Brunnstrom stage and depression score (r=0.259, P=0.019; r=0.271, P=0.014; r=-0.393, P<0.001; r=-0.385, P<0.001; r=0.293, P=0.008, respectively). In this study, there was a relationship between complex regional pain syndrome-I and subluxation, loss of range of motion, spasticity of shoulder muscles and muscle strength. In order to prevent the development of complex regional pain syndrome-I, exercises directed at increasing the range of motion for the glenohumeral joint, strengthening shoulder muscles and reduction of spasticity will establish the integrity of the shoulder joint.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate abnormalities and age-related differences after first-time shoulder dislocation. MATERIALS AND METHODS MRA images of first-time dislocators were assessed for labral-ligamentous-capsular / rotator cuff abnormalities and analyzed the age-related differences (< and >/=30 years old). RESULTS Sixty-six patients (34 <30 years old vs. 32 >/=30 years; 51 males; all anterior dislocations) were imaged. Forty-eight patients (73%) showed anteroinferior labral avulsion, consisting of: 6% (4/34 vs. 0/32) Perthes; 23% (8/34 vs. 7/32) free ALPSA (anterior labrum periosteal sleeve avulsion) lesion); 6% (1/34 vs. 3/32) adherent ALPSA; 23% (9/34 vs. 6/32) Bankart; 14% (5/34 vs. 4/32) inferiorly displaced avulsed labrum; 2% (1/34 vs. 0/32) GLAD. Extensive labral detachment (extended above 3 o'clock position) was present in 31% (11/28 vs. 4/20). There were 14% (6/34 vs. 3/32) superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) lesion; 27% (1/34 vs. 17/34) rotator cuff tendon tear; 71% (25/34 vs. 22/32) Hill-Sachs defect. Young patients were more likely to have extensive labral avulsions (P = 0.054), but less likely to have rotator cuff tears (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION A high prevalence and wide variety of labral avulsions after first-time shoulder dislocation, especially adherent ALPSA, inferiorly displaced avulsed labrum, or GLAD lesion, may influence treatment choice and outcome, suggesting a role for early MRA to assist in treatment triage.

Abstract
There is a high incidence of reflex sympathetic dystrophy of the upper limbs in patients with hemiplegia, and its painful and functional consequences present a problem to specialists in physical medicine and rehabilitation. This study was designed to assess the role of several factors in the occurrence of reflex sympathetic dystrophy in patients with hemiplegia. Ninety-five consecutive stroke patients (63 male and 32 female, mean age 59+/-12 years) admitted to our hospital were evaluated. Of the study group, 29 patients (30.5%) were found to develop reflex sympathetic dystrophy. There were no significant differences between the hemiplegic patient groups with or without reflex sympathetic dystrophy regarding age, gender, etiology, side of involvement, disease duration and the presence of comorbidities. The recovery stages of hemiplegia, as shown by Brunnstrom functional classification, were significantly different between the two groups; patients in lower recovery stages tended to develop reflex sympathetic dystrophy more frequently (P<0.01). Additionally, the presence of flaccidity was also a significant factor in the development of reflex sympathetic dystrophy. Glenohumeral subluxation was present in 37 patients (38.9%) in our study group and the presence of this complication was related to the occurrence of reflex sympathetic dystrophy. The presence of glenohumeral subluxation was significantly higher in patients with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (21/29, 72.4%) when compared to the patients without reflex sympathetic dystrophy (16/66, 24.2%) (P<0.001). Also, hemiplegic patients with more severe shoulder subluxation were significantly more likely to develop reflex sympathetic dystrophy. These results suggest that lower recovery stages, reduced tonus and glenohumeral subluxation significantly contribute to the occurrence of reflex sympathetic dystrophy in the hemiplegic patient. We believe that preventive and treatment measures should consider these factors as they seem to have in common a higher risk of traumatizing the paralyzed upper limb and causing reflex sympathetic dystrophy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate, prospectively, outcomes following arthroscopic Bankart repair performed with 2 types of suture anchor--the G II (DePuy Mitek, Raynham, MA) nonabsorbable anchor and the Panalok (DePuy Mitek) absorbable anchor. METHODS Patients with a diagnosis of recurrent traumatic anterior instability of the shoulder who were seen in a single unit between April of 2000 and June of 2003 were considered for inclusion in the study. Patients were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively by means of a subjective, patient-related outcome measurement tool (Oxford Instability Score), a visual analogue scale for pain and instability (VAS Pain and VAS Instability), and a quality-of-life questionnaire (Short Form-12 [SF-12]). Length of follow-up was 1.5 to 5 years (mean, 2.6 y). The incidence of recurrent instability and the level of sporting ability were recorded. Patients were randomized to undergo surgical repair with nonabsorbable or absorbable anchors. RESULTS A total of 130 patients were included in this study, of whom 6 were lost to follow-up; therefore 124 patients (95%) completed the study. Both types of anchor were highly effective. No differences in rate of recurrence or in any of the scores were noted between the 2 groups. In all, 4 patients in the nonabsorbable group and 3 in the absorbable group experienced additional episodes of dislocation after a traumatic event. Rate of redislocation in the whole series was therefore 6%. In addition, 4 patients, all of them from the absorbable group (4%), described ongoing symptoms of instability but no true dislocations. In all, 85% of the patient group have returned to their previous level of sporting activity. CONCLUSIONS No differences in outcomes of arthroscopic Bankart repair were seen whether absorbable or nonabsorbable anchors were used. Both are highly effective, with a redislocation rate of 6%. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level I, therapeutic randomized controlled trial.

Abstract
The open Bankart procedure is still considered the gold standard for patients with recurrent posttraumatic anterior shoulder instability. The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze long-term results after open Bankart procedure in 83 patients that were operated between 1987 and 2000 and to evaluate the rate of recurrent instability, level of function and range of motion. The mean follow-up time was 9 (3-16) years. The postoperative recurrence rate including subluxations was 12%. The mean Constant score was 77 and the mean Rowe score was 63. Average loss of external rotation in 90 degrees of abduction was 19 degrees . The results were disappointing in terms of stability and function. In the absence of longterm prospective studies on newer arthroscopic techniques, the decision on the reconstruction method must still be based on the surgeon's experience and the patient's choice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent arthroscopic repair for isolated type 2 superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) lesions. METHODS Isolated type 2 SLAP lesions were treated with arthroscopic repair with suture anchors in eight patients (5 males, 3 females; mean age 48.5 years; range 27 to 60 years) with shoulder pain unresponsive to conservative treatment. The mean duration of symptoms was 18.6 months (range 2 to 48 months). Initial diagnoses were based on patients' complaints and findings of physical examination and radiologic imaging, and were confirmed at diagnostic arthroscopy. Two suture anchors were used in six patients. Patients were evaluated with physical examination, radiographs, and the UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) score. The mean follow-up was 30.8 months (range 14 to 48 months). RESULTS The mean preoperative and postoperative UCLA scores were 13.3 (range 10 to 18) and 30.8 (range 24 to 33), respectively (p<0.05). The results were good in seven patients (87.5%), and fair in one patient (12.5%). The mean preoperative active forward elevation was 136.3 degrees (range 90 degrees to 170 degrees), adduction-external rotation was 42.5 degrees (range 40 degrees to 60 degrees), and adduction-internal rotation was at T7 in three patients, and at L1 in five patients. At final follow-ups, the mean active forward flexion increased to 164.3 degrees (range 150 degrees to 170 degrees), adduction-external rotation was 40 degrees (range 30 degrees to 60 degrees), and adduction-internal rotation was at T7 in four patients, and at T12 in four patients. CONCLUSION The results of arthroscopic fixation of type 2 SLAP lesions with suture anchors are successful in the majority of patients, provided that an appropriate arthroscopic technique is performed to re-establish the stability of the biceps anchor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A midsubstance complete capsular tear is one of the well-known causes of anterior glenohumeral instability. However, its prevalence and clinical picture have not been well elucidated. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of isolated complete capsular tears and to assess the clinical features as well as the results of surgical treatment of recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability caused by such tears. METHODS Three hundred and three shoulders underwent surgery to treat recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability at our institution during a five-year period. Twelve (4.0%) of these shoulders had an isolated complete capsular tear as the main pathological condition. Those twelve patients (nine male and three female) were the subjects of the present study. The average age at the time of the operation was twenty-five years. Patient age; the cause of the initial dislocation; the position of the arm at the initial dislocation; and the findings of the preoperative physical examination, of computed tomographic arthrography, and at surgery were assessed. Eleven patients underwent arthroscopic capsular repair, and one was treated with an open capsular repair. RESULTS The twelve patients either did not have a Hill-Sachs lesion or had a chondral indentation-type of Hill-Sachs lesion. When assessed with arthrography, the Hill-Sachs lesions were small compared with those in shoulders with an isolated Bankart lesion and, interestingly, they were quite similar in size to those seen with humeral avulsion of the inferior glenohumeral ligament. The average Rowe score for the twelve patients improved from 30.4 points preoperatively to 90.4 points at an average of thirty-one months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of isolated complete capsular tears causing recurrent glenohumeral instability was 4.0% (twelve of 303). These tears were associated with either a small or no Hill-Sachs lesion. We believe that a complete capsular tear should be recognized as one of the essential lesions causing recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. Arthroscopic examination and repair can provide effective treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although the comparative efficacy of open and arthroscopic Bankart repair remains a matter of debate, little data exist on relative costs. We analyzed the patient outcomes, cost, and resource utilization of both procedures to determine if differences exist between open versus arthroscopic Bankart repair. TYPE OF STUDY Retrospective case-control study. METHODS We compared 22 patients who had open Bankart repair with 20 patients who had arthroscopic Bankart repair. Total operating times and all charges were obtained from records. Patients were evaluated using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) shoulder score, and any recurrence of dislocation was noted at minimum 24-month follow-up. RESULTS For arthroscopic Bankart repairs, operating times were shorter, but operating room equipment charges were greater. Overall charges were greater for open repairs as all open repair patients were admitted postoperatively. ASES shoulder scores were not significantly different between treatment groups. Four of 17 evaluable patients with open Bankart repair (including 1 shoulder in a patient who underwent bilateral repairs) had recurrent dislocation. One of the 18 evaluable patients with arthroscopic Bankart repair had recurrent dislocation. CONCLUSIONS Arthroscopic Bankart repair as same-day surgery has lower overall charges than open repair, although this difference would be negligible if all patients went home immediately after surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic, retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
This retrospective study was conducted in a state hospital set-up and aimed at identifying the magnitude of shoulder dislocations and their demographic data, characteristics of the injury, mechanism and predisposing factors, and the instituted treatment. Patients with radiographic evidence of shoulder dislocation admitted to the hospital from January 1999 to December 2002 were included. Data were recorded from the case notes. There were 105 shoulder dislocations with male predomination in 77% cases and age ranged between 11 and 90 years (average 30.9 years). The right shoulder was affected in 68% of the cases. The contributing events were fall in 37% of cases, road traffic accident 23%, sports 17% and pathological conditions 13%. Anterior dislocation occurred in 96.2% of the cases. Posterior and inferior dislocations encountered in two patients for each type. Twelve dislocations were associated fracture of the greater tuberosity, two each with humeral neck fracture and cerebral injuries. First time dislocation occurred in 73.6% of the cases. The recurrences ranged between 2 to 6 times (average 3.4 times). Closed manipulative reduction and strapping was the definitive treatment in 92.4% of the cases and the remaining needed surgical reconstruction. Four patients had open reduction and internal fixation of the associated fractures while another four had arthroscopic Bankart's repair. In conclusion, shoulder dislocation represents the most common shoulder problems. It afflicted young adults of reproductive age (21-40 years) and participation in sports was a risk factor in men. Women over 40 years and fall were at risk to develop shoulder dislocation.

Abstract
This retrospective study was conducted in a state hospital set-up and aimed at identifying the incidence of sports-related shoulder dislocations and their characteristics and the sports events involved. All patients with shoulder dislocation related to sporting activities admitted to the hospital from January 1999 to December 2002 were included in the study. There were 18 sports-related shoulder dislocations out of 106 all shoulder dislocations admitted during this 4-year period. The average age of the patients was 25.4 years. All but two were male. All were anterior dislocations. Recurrent dislocation constitutes 78% of the cases with an average of 3 times re-dislocation. Rugby and badminton were the major contributors to the injuries followed by volleyball, soccer and swimming. Conservative treatment was successfully instituted for 88% of the patients and 12% opted for surgical intervention.

Abstract
The radiographs of 115 anterior shoulder dislocations (100 patients; 74 males, 26 female were reviewed to assess the radiographic views used in the management of this dislocation. Eighty-eight patients (88%) had only the anteroposterior (AP) view, 10 patients had 2 radiographic views taken and only 2 patients had three radiographic views. Hill-Sachs lesions were found in 18%, and glenoid rim fractures in 3% of the patients. A greater tuberosity fracture was found in 18% of the patients. Therefore, the current practice in the management of an acute anterior shoulder dislocation appears to be to perform a single view (AP) pre-reduction radiograph to confirm the diagnosis and a single view (AP) post reduction radiograph to confirm reduction after a close manipulative reduction has been performed. This practice is likely to result in an underestimate of associated Hill Sachs lesion and glenoid rim fractures, but not greater tuberosity fractures.

Abstract
This review summarizes the recent advances in glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) in hemiplegic patients and analyzes the reliability and validity of clinical evaluation and the effectiveness of different treatment approaches. GHS, a common complication of stroke, can be considered an important risk factor for shoulder pain and other problems. GHS is a complex phenomenon, and its pathomechanics are not yet fully understood. Radiographic measurements are considered the best method of quantifying GHS. Clinical evaluation can be useful as screening assessment. Functional electrical stimulation and strapping are effective in an acute stage of hemiplegia; some types of slings have been shown to be effective and may be used together with other strategies.

Abstract
The case notes of 102 patients (117 shoulder dislocations) were reviewed retrospectively to improve the understanding of the epidemiology of this common injury. Eighty-one dislocations were primary and 36 dislocations were second or recurrent dislocations. The age distribution was characterized by a peak in male patients aged between 21-30 years. The mean age for males was 30.5 years and 47.7 years for females. The male:female ratio in first time dislocations was 5:2, while it was 5:1 in recurrent dislocations. Ninety-eight percent were anterior dislocations and 2% were posterior dislocations. Greater tuberosity fractures were found in 17 patients and almost half of these patients were aged between 41-50 years. The most common cause of first time dislocation was a direct blow or fall onto the shoulder, accounting for 42 patients (55%). The majority of these patients were aged 40 years and above. Next common cause was motor vehicle accident which occurred mostly in the younger age group. Dislocations due to sporting injuries accounted for only 5.3% of all first time dislocations. Nearly 97% were successfully reduced without a general anaesthesia. Seventy-seven percent of the patients had their shoulders immobilized after reduction, mostly with body strapping only. Fifteen patients (14.7%) were referred for physiotherapy for stiffness. Few operations were performed for recurrent dislocations but surgery does not appear to be well accepted as yet by our patients.
