BACKGROUND: Anterior dislocation of shoulder account for more than 50% of dislocation that occur in our body. Several methods of reduction are described in literature which are @entity158 or require anaesthesia. AIM: This study was undertaken to compare the External Rotation Method and Milch method for reduction of @entity2065 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: There were total 52 @entity1 with @entity2065 , distributed randomly into 2 groups. Reduction was done by External Rotation Method and Milch Method for each group and their outcome were compared. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The data was analysed by using SPSS for Windows (version 16.0) by applying the Chi-Square test. p-values of <0.05 was considered as significant. RESULTS: Among each group of 26 @entity1 , three @entity1 required anaesthesia in External Rotation Method and eight @entity1 required anaesthesia in Milch Method. There was no statistically significant difference in success rate between external rotation (88.46%) and Milch (69.23%) methods of reduction (p=0.09). CONCLUSION: Both methods of reduction can be used for reduction of @entity2065 without anaesthesia but external rotation method was found to be easier and less @entity158 .
