Reduction of anterior shoulder dislocation: Milch technique results in high success rate
J Shoulder Elbow Surg. 2012 Nov;21(11):1443-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jse.2012.01.004. Epub 2012 Apr 18.60 patients with anterior shoulder dislocation requiring nonsedated reduction were randomized to undergo the Milch technique or Stimson technique. The results of the study indicate that the success rate and time to achieve reduction without sedation were superior for the patients that underwent the Milch technique when compared with the patients that underwent the Stimson technique. The Milch technique becomes a reasonable management alternative to reduction with sedation when early implementation of reduction, low pain levels at presentation, and oral pain medication are successfully combined.
