A Prospective, Randomized Evaluation of Arthroscopic Stabilization versus Nonoperative Treatment in Patients with Acute, Traumatic, First-Time Shoulder Dislocations

BACKGROUND: Nonoperative treatment of traumatic shoulder dislocations leads to a high rate of recurrent dislocations. HYPOTHESIS: Early arthroscopic treatment for shoulder dislocation will result in a lower recurrence rate than nonoperative treatment. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, randomized clinical t... View More
