Demographic, epidemiological and clinical characteristics of traumatic shoulder dislocations in Turkey: a retrospective single-center urban-rural study

Öz

Objective: The aim of our study is to investigate the literature data comparing with demographic and clinical characteristics of shoulder dislocations in Mus city of Turkey. Patients and Methods: The patients who applied to our hospital with shoulder dislocation between January 2017 and December 2018 were examined retrospectively. The data of a total of 306 patients were obtained from the database. 125 patients which have no radiological imaging of shoulder dislocation were excluded from the study. Incidence, demographic characteristics, type of dislocation, presence of additional injuries, etiology of dislocation, recurrent dislocation, length of hospital stay and reduction of dislocation were evaluated. Results: A total of 181 patients, including 140 (77.34%) male and 41 (22.65%) female, ages ranging from 12 to 93 (mean 39.98 age) were included in the study. During the study year, the incidence of primary shoulder dislocation was 18.9/100,000 per year (14.4/100,000 for men and 4.4/100,000 for women). 153 of the patients (84.5%) had only one and 28 (15.4%) patients had at least two times history of shoulder dislocation. 172 of the patients’ shoulder were closed reduced under sedation in the emergency department and nine of them were closed reduced in the operating room under general anesthesia. Conclusion: The incidence of the study is 18.9/100.000 and similar to the previous studies in the literature. This result may be explained by the regional demographic diversity of the patient population
