Abstract

Shoulder dislocations are the most common type of dislocation, accounting for approximately 45% of all dislocations [1]. In addition to cases of shoulder dislocation alone, cases of shoulder dislocation with rupture of the greater tuberosity (large tuberosity) are quite common. Objective: to evaluate the results of conservative treatment of shoulder dislocation with rupture of the greater tuberosity at Viet Duc Hospital. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional description of 55 patients with shoulder dislocation accompanied by rupture of the greater tuberosity, aged from 26 to 85 years, was treated conservatively by traction and cast. Rate the results on the Constant scale after 1 and 3 months of cast removal. Results: After 1 month, the average Constant score was 72.18 ± 6.58 points. After 3 months, the average Constant score was 80.4 ± 5.98 points, shoulder function improved with good and very good rating of 94.6%. Conclusion: Conservative treatment of shoulder dislocation with rupture of the greater tuberosity wich little deviation brings high efficiency, low cost, and avoids complications and complications of surgery.
