Abstract
We have reviewed retrospectively a group of patients with previous traumatic dislocation of shoulder trea- ted with of Spaso maneuver. We have evaluated 23 patients with antero-inferior glenohumeral dislocation. In nineteen cases it was the first episode of dislocation, whereas four cases refered recurrent instability. In all patients, except in two cases, the reduction was simple and painless with no need of medication. The Spaso technique consists of arran- ging the patient in supine position, with the affected superior member, in complete extension of elbow, to the cenit, while traction is exerced, with mild external rotation of the arm. We presented this technique that we consider simple, safe and reproductible with a low rate of complications.
