109 patients with traumatic shoulder dislocation were randomized to determine the effect of a shoulder motion restriction band on recurrence rates. Following reduction and immobilization in external rotation for 3 weeks, participants received either 6- or 3-week use of the restriction band, or no band use. Assessments were conducted for a minimum of 2 years following reduction, and no difference between groups was observed for overall recurrence of shoulder dislocation, even when patients were stratified by age.
