Evaluation of the Davos self-assisted technique for reduction of anterior glenohumeral dislocations: a comparative study with the traction/countertraction technique

Abstract

The Davos is a patient-controlled, atraumatic, and safe technique, allowing successful, gentle, and less painful glenohumeral reduction. These findings favor Davos as an easy-to-teach and effective first-line treatment for first-time and recurrent shoulder dislocations.
