Scientific titleReduction of acute anterior shoulder dislocation with or without the use of articular lidocaine anaesthesia: a prospective randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesThe intra-articular lidocaine could reduce pain for treatment of shoulder dislocation.
Ethics approval(s)Hospital Sao Paulo Research Ethics Committee (Cpmitê de Ética em Pesquisa Hospital São Paulo) approved on 08/08/2008 (ref: CEP 1019/08)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAnterior shoulder dislocation
InterventionAfter fulfilling the study inclusion and exclusion criteria, each patient received a sequential registration number and a sealed, opaque envelope marked with the number corresponding to their registration. The envelope contained information regarding the treatment method that was randomly assigned to the patient’s registration number. The attending physician led the patient to a waiting room where after the door was closed and the envelope was opened, either intra-articular lidocaine injection was applied or no treatment was given in accordance to the method disclosed. In both cases, the anatomical region of the arm corresponding to the application of intra-articular anaesthetic was covered with dressings to mask whether or not the intervention had been performed. Whether or not the patients underwent the intervention, all patients were placed supine on a stretcher with the affected shoulder at 60° abduction. The pull maneuver and counter-traction were performed with a bedsheet placed under their armpit.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Lidocaine
Primary outcome measurePain was assessed through the application of a visual analogue scale at the time of pre reduction, and 1 and 5 minutes after the reduction maneuver was performed
Secondary outcome measures1. The time span to achieve shoulder joint reduction in minutes
2. Neurological, vascular and infectious complications
3. Occurrence of failures were also assessed (defined as unsuccessful reduction after a 10-minute attempt). After 5 minutes, two other physicians were called to perform the reduction maneuver. Both were blinded to which treatment the patient had received.

Key inclusion criteriaAll patients with acute anterior shoulder dislocation who were treated at the Emergency Room of Hospital Sao Paulo were included in the study.
The diagnostic criteria used were clinical findings:
1. Shoulder deformity

3. Radiographic findings showing total loss of articular congruity between the humeral head and glenoid cavity, as evidenced by frontal, profile and axillary shoulder radiographs
Key exclusion criteria1. Patients who were diagnosed with fracture-dislocation of the shoulder joint, except those with Hill-Sachs lesions, were disqualified
2. Patients with immature skeletons (open physis), who underwent surgery, or had previous fractures in the affected shoulder
3. Patients in whom the use of lidocaine is contraindicated
4. Those who refused to sign the consent form
