Summary

Comparison of immobilization in internal versus external rotation after first time anterior shoulder dislocation.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to compare immobilization in internal versus external rotation after first time anterior shoulder dislocation, and thereby increase our knowledge about the best standard of care.

Conditions

• Shoulder Dislocation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	External rotation shoulder sling	The external rotation sling will be adjusted to position the injured upper extremity in 90 degrees of elbow flexion, 0 degrees of shoulder abduction and flexion, and 10 to 15 degrees of external rotation at the shoulder.
DEVICE	Internal rotation shoulder sling	The internal rotation sling will be adjusted to position the injured upper extremity in 90 degrees of elbow flexion, 0 degrees of shoulder abduction and flexion, and 70 to 80 degrees of internal rotation at the shoulder.
