Summary

This paper describes the results obtained in treating 128 acute anterior dislocations of the shoulder by a method of reduction which obtains the maximum degree of muscular relaxation without general anaesthesia. Excellent results were obtained. Subcoracoid dislocations were more difficult to reduce than subglenoid.
