How To Reduce Anterior Shoulder Dislocations Using the FARES Method
Indications for the FARES Method
Anterior dislocation of the shoulder Reduction should be attempted soon (eg, within 30 minutes) after the diagnosis is made. Reduction should be attempted immediately if an associated neurovascular deficit or skin tenting (due to a displaced bone fracture, with potential for skin penetration or breakdown) is present. If an orthopedic surgeon is unavailable, closed reduction may be attempted, ideally using minimal force; if unsuccessful, reduction may need to be done in the operating room under general anesthesia. Open dislocations require surgery, but closed reduction techniques and immobilization should be done as interim treatment if the orthopedic surgeon is unavailable and a neurovascular deficit is present.
