  Background: A sedation-free seated reduction technique for shoulder dislocation was demonstrated safe and effective when performed by an experienced clinician. It is unclear if these results are reproducible in doctors with minimal experience of the technique. Aim: To determine success of reduction in doctors with minimal experience. Method: Minimally experienced doctors performed reductions following an education session (group 2).

Success in group 1 was 100% (95% CI 95-100) and 95% (95% CI 82-99) in group 2, p = 0.06. There were no complications... View More»
