Conservative Management Following Closed Reduction Of Traumatic Anterior Dislocation Of The Shoulder http://www.orthopaedicweblinks.com/Detailed/9149.html Conservative management following closed reduction of traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder (Cochrane Review) Handoll HHG, Hanchard NCA, Goodchild L, Feary J The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2006, Issue 1. Art. No.: CD004962. Authors' conclusions: There is a lack of evidence from randomised controlled trials to inform the choices for conservative management following closed reduction of traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder.Sufficiently powered, good quality, well reported randomised controlled trials with long-term surveillance of conservative management are required. In particular, trials examining the type and duration of immobilisation would be useful. 2006-02-02 17:14:18 GMT http://www.orthopaedicweblinks.com/cgi-bin/owl/jump.cgi?ID=9149 Handoll et al
