Immobilisation in external rotation vs immobilisation

Any instability: re‐dislocation or subluxation, composite outcome · patients undergoing conservative management after closed reduction of traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder

It is very uncertain whether immobilisation in external rotation changes any instability: re‐dislocation or subluxation, composite outcome compared with immobilisation (very low certainty).
