Abstract

We report our clinical experience of a 1 year and 10 month child with traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation who underwent non-operative reduction and Desault’s bandage immobilization for 10 days. No associated fractures were found and after bandage removal, full ROM of the shoulder was immediately assessed. Further research is needed to unified guideline of treatment and the time of immobilization for this type of injury in pediatric population.
