The forward elevation maneuver for reduction of anterior dislocations of
the shoulder. Jenecki CJ. Shahcheragh GH. Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research. (164):177-80, 1982 Apr. The simplicity, safety, and physiologic nature of the forward elevation maneuver for reductions of anterior dislocations and fracture-dislocations of the shoulder, is illustrated in a report of 50 cases. The method is effective and free of complications. The maneuver requires very little, if any, sedation and is particularly useful in all well-muscled young athletes with anterior dislocations of the shoulder.
