Comparison of Modified Chair and Non-Traction Kocher Reduction Techniques for Anterior Shoulder Dislocation: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

Background: Anterior shoulder dislocation is the most common large joint dislocation encountered inemergency departments. Traditional traction-based reduction techniques often require significant force, causeprocedural pain, and frequently necessitate sedation. Biomechanical methods such as the modified chairtechnique have been proposed as less painful alternatives; however, randomized comparative evidence remains limited
