Technical note: modifications and improvements of the Milch technique for
the reduction of anterior dislocation of the shoulder without premedication. Garnavos C. Journal of Trauma. [JC:kaf] 32(6):801-3, 1992 Jun. A method for the reduction of anterior dislocations of the shoulder based on the Milch technique is presented. We have been using this method for the last 2 years (75 dislocations) with excellent results. The reduction is easy, produces minimal pain and discomfort for the patient, and the success rate is as high as 94.5%. The modified Milch technique is less troublesome for the patient and the physician and we strongly recommend it.
