Method Of Reducing Subcoracoid Dislocation Of The Humerus

Illustration from 'Atlas and Epitome of Traumatic Fractures and Dislocations' (by Dr. H. Helferich), 1902. Fig 1 Adduction of the arm until the region of the elbow comes in contact with the trunk which is in a straight position step I. No material change in the position of the head of the humerus is produced by this step. Fig 2 Outward rotation of the adducted arm by means of the forearm flexed at right angles step II until the forearm approximately occupies the frontal plane of the body. The opening in the capsule is plainly visible the head has moved nearer the acromion and further away from the brachial plexus. Fig 3 Elevation of the arm held in adduction and outward rotation step III, in other words the arm is raised and directed forward. This partially reduces the dislocation.
