Dynamic brace is a good option to treat first anterior shoulder dislocation in season.
Musculoskeletal Surgery 2017 December
PURPOSE: We evaluate the ability of in-season competitive athletes to return to competition after an anterior shoulder instability treated conservatively with a new dynamic brace combined with a specific rehabilitation program.
METHODS: Twenty soccer players affected by traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation have been enrolled in the "Footballer In Season Fast Rehab" project during 2 consecutive football seasons. We excluded patients affected by rotator cuff tears and the bony defect over 25%. All the players have been treated the day after the first dislocation with a new dynamic brace used until the end of the second month after the first glenohumeral dislocation combined with a specific rehab protocol. Athletes were evaluated for the time necessary to completely resume sport activities, to complete the season, and for the recurrence of dislocation.
RESULTS: All the athletes enrolled in this study were able to come back on the ground in approximately 40 days after the dislocation except 2 of them. Only two athletes claimed a slight discomfort at the return to play. One athlete had a traumatic relapse of the instability, 50 days after the dislocation. Another athlete claimed to have had a subluxation during a training session 45 days after the dislocation. 90% of the athletes were able to end the season without any shoulder discomfort.
CONCLUSIONS: The dynamic brace combined to the rehabilitation protocol represents the solution that allows a quick start of resumption of training while maintaining a stable pain-free shoulder.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4.
