Dr. Liavaag discusses shoulder immobilization following primary shoulder dislocation.
188 patients with primary traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation were randomized to be managed by immobilization in either internal rotation or 15° of external rotation for a period of 3 weeks. The 2-year follow up concludes that the re-dislocation rates were similar in both the treatment groups.
Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?
Was allocation adequately concealed?
Blinding Treatment Providers: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Outcome Assessors: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Patients: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting?
Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?

Fragility Indexは、重要な所見の解釈を助けるツールで、結果の強さの尺度を提供します。Fragility Indexは、その所見が有意でなくなるために、二項対立の結果に追加する必要がある連続した事象の数を表します。数値が小さいほど弱い所見を表し、数値が大きいほど強い所見を表します。
なぜ今この研究が必要なのですか?
There is a high risk of recurrence following a primary traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation, especially in the younger population. There have been several variable suggestions as to the best management. The orthopedic community is divided over the usefulness of the immobilization in external rotation. The study provides much needed evidence to determine best management.
主な研究課題は何ですか?
Does immobilization in external rotation provides any additional benefit to the future risk of recurrence, compared to standard immobilization in internal rotation?
重要な知見は?
- recurrence rate of 30.8% with immobilization in external rotation vs. 27.1% in internal rotation
- mean time to recurrence 10.5 months in External rotation group vs. 11.6 months in Internal Rotation group.
- median WOSI Score of 238 in external rotation vs. 375 in internal rotation group
最も覚えておくべきことは?
External rotation immobilizers are not beneficial to reduce the risk of future shoulder dislocation.
それが私の患者ケアにどのように影響するか?
Although this study finds that external rotation immobilizers are not beneficial, the sample size may be too small for definitive conclusions.
