Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing the Spaso Maneuver Versus the Self-assisted Boss-Holzach-Matter for Anterior Shoulder Dislocations

Brief Summary: To compare the results and efficacy of the self-assisted Boss-Holzach-Matter maneuver for anterior shoulder dislocation and the Spaso method performed by a physician.

Detailed Summary:

Introduction: There are many described maneuvers in literature describing how to reduce an anterior shoulder dislocation. Most of these maneuvers are performed by a trained physician, however, seldom are these taught to patients in case of recurrence or accidental dislocations that may occur far from a trained professional to treat. The Boss-Holzach-Matter maneuver is a simple, easy to understand and easy to perform self assisted method that has not been compared to any other method.

Hypothesis: The Boss-Holzach-Matter method is a less painful maneuver compared to the Spaso method assuming an equal success rate.

Objective: To determine whether the Boss-Holzach-Matter method is a less painful method for anterior shoulder dislocations compares to the Spaso method assuming equal success rate.

Methodology: Fifty six patients presenting acute anterior shoulder dislocation will be randomized, at the time of the admission , to either Spaso reduction method performed by a physician or the self-assisted Boss-Holzach-Matter method.

Current Primary Outcome: Change From Baseline in Pain that the patient experiences during the reduction procedure [ Time Frame: Patients will be assessed throughout their visit to the Trauma Unit. No further following should be necessary.There will be no change in pain measurement, only the amount of pain felt during the manoeuvre. ]

Original Primary Outcome: Change From Baseline in Pain that the patient experiences during the reduction procedure [ Time Frame: immediate ]
