Abstract

1. Many of the unsuccessful attempts at open reduction of dislocation of the head of the humerus are undoubtedly due to incomplete freeing of adhesions and only partial mobilization of the head of the bone.

2. Adequate exposure of the joint cavity and manual palpation and section of adhesions will, in the majority of cases, bring about reduction.
