Can a new Shoulder-Fixing trick beat the old one?
NCT ID NCT07757594
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two methods for putting a dislocated shoulder back into place: the newer FARES technique and the standard traction-countertraction method. Adults with an acute anterior shoulder dislocation will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The study measures how often each method works on the first try, how long it takes, how much pain it causes, and any complications. The goal is to find out which approach is faster and less painful for patients in the emergency department.
