The Cunningham technique was originally published in 2003 and is an anatomically based method of shoulder reduction that utilizes positioning (analgesic position), voluntary scapular retraction, and bicipital massage. [7] If performed correctly most patients do not require analgesia for the performance of this technique.
Cunningham shoulder reduction was originally published in 2003 [1] and is an anatomically based method of shoulder reduction that utilizes positioning (analgesic position), voluntary scapular retraction, and bicipital massage. It is designed for true anterior/subcoracoid glenohumeral dislocations in patients who can fully adduct their humerus. [2]
Dislocations can occur in any major joint (shoulder, knees, etc.) or minor joint (toes, fingers, etc.). The most common joint dislocation is a shoulder dislocation. [1] The treatment for joint dislocation is usually by closed reduction, that is, skilled manipulation to return the bones to their normal position. Only trained medical ...
Orthopedic surgery attempts to recreate the normal anatomy of the fractured bone by reduction of the displacement. [citation needed] This sense of the term "reduction" does not imply any sort of removal or quantitative decrease but rather implies a restoration: re ("back [to initial position]") + ducere ("lead"/"bring"), i.e., "bringing back to ...

[2] [1] Treatment is by shoulder reduction which may be accomplished by a number of techniques. [1] These include traction-countertraction, external rotation, scapular manipulation, and the Stimson technique. [1] After reduction X-rays are recommended for verification. [1] The arm may then be placed in a sling for a few weeks. [2]
Both before and after reduction, with lesions labeled. Vector (.svg) version is available. The bony Bankart lesion is new, as evidenced by lack of cortex on the superior part of the fragment, and is presumed to be caused by glenohumeral ligaments pulling the humerus towards the glenoid as the shoulder dislocates, causing a fracture even without significant external forces.
A dislocated shoulder can be treated with: Arthroscopic repairs; repair of the Glenoid labrum (anterior or posterior) [1] In some cases, arthroscopic surgery is not enough to fix the injured shoulder. When the shoulder dislocates too many times and is worn down, the ball and socket are not lined up correctly.
