Bracing in External Rotation for Shoulder Dislocations
Recently, some authors have advocated bracing people who have dislocated their shoulder, in external rotation- a somewhat annoying position for the patient. However this study refutes that notion. Interestingly, one of the authors who advocated the external rotation bracing had patented a special brace for this purpose. I am thoroughly convinced, that it is a must to understand the inherent biases behind the authors of studies before one absorbs them as truth.
