| Popis: | Chronic shoulder dislocations are extremely rare. The goal of this retrospective study was to describe the epidemiology of chronic shoulder dislocation in our environment and to evaluate the outcome of treatment. Bio-demographic data and injury details were retrieved from case files. Definitive method of reduction and stabilisation and duration of follow-up care were also noted. Nine cases of subcoracoid anterior chronic shoulder dislocation were seen during the 6-year period of the study. Seven (78%) of these patients were male and two (22%) were female. The mean age was 42 (±17.5) years. The common mechanisms of injury were road traffic crash in four patients (44%), domestic falls in four patients (44%) and dislocation while getting out of bed in one patient (12%). None of the patients had neurovascular deficit at presentation. Five patients were managed operatively and four were managed non-operatively. Mean follow-up was 8 months (range 6-12 months). Clinical evaluation by Rowe shoulder score revealed that operated cases had significantly higher mean rank scores than non-operated cases using the Mann- Whitney U test. Two operated cases were graded fair and three poor. All cases managed non-operatively had poor outcome grades. Meticulous attempt at soft tissue repair and early supervised physiotherapy can contribute to a favourable outcome. |
