Core Tip |
By using the Hippocrates method for reducing an anterior shoulder dislocation with the patient under general anaesthesia, the brachial vein was injured and an increasing hematoma subsequently caused brachial plexus paresis. The hazardousness of the Hippocrates method can be explained by traction on the outstretched arm with force of the operator's body weight, direct trauma to the axillary region by the physician's heel, and the topographic relations of neurovascular structures and the dislocated humeral head. Therefore we strongly caution against the use of the Hippocrates method as a first choice. |
