Summary

This is study to compare the time to diagnosis of glenohumeral joint dislocation using two imaging methods, traditional x-ray and point-of-care ultrasound. Participants who present at the emergency department complaining of shoulder injury and who are suspected of having a possible glenohumeral shoulder dislocation will be eligible for the study. A reduction of the joint will be performed if imaging findings so indicate. All participants will receive a post-reduction x-ray and be referred to appropriate follow-up care.

Detailed description

This is a prospective comparison study evaluating the time to diagnosis of glenohumeral joint dislocation using two imaging modalities, traditional x-ray and point-of-care ultrasound. Eligible participants will include those who present to the emergency department with complaints of shoulder injury who are suspected by triage nursing of having a possible glenohumeral shoulder dislocation. Eligible participants will be consented by participating physicians and randomized into ultrasound or x-ray groups. If indicated based on the imaging findings, a reduction of the joint will be performed. All patients will receive a post-reduction x-ray and be referred to appropriate follow-up care based on the findings of their evaluation.
