Clinical Trial: Diagnostic Accuracy of Bedside Ultrasonography in the Management of the Shoulder Dislocations

Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Diagnostic Accuracy of Bedside Point of Care Ulrasound (POCUS) in the Management of the Shoulder Dislocations

Brief Summary: Shoulder dislocation is a common clinical presentation in the emergency department, comprising about 50 percent of all major joint dislocations. In the standart management of shoulder dislocations physicians generally need to see pre and post reduction x ray graphics. Ultrasonography is harmless way of evaluating shoulder and may be used in the management of the shoulder dislocations instead of the x ray evaluations.

Detailed Summary: Shoulder dislocation is a common clinical presentation in the emergency department, comprising about 50 percent of all major joint dislocations. In the standard management of shoulder dislocations physicians generally need to see pre and post reduction x ray graphics. Ultrasonography is harmless way of evaluating shoulder and may be used in the management of the shoulder dislocations instead of the x ray evaluations.Recent literature has demonstrated the superiority of point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) in detecting both anterior and posterior shoulder dislocations, making it another rapidly evolving tool to improve accuracy, decrease error, and improve efficiency. The aim of the study is to evaluate the accuracy and clinical usability of ultrasonography in the management of the shoulder dislocations.
