Abstract:
A distal end of a staff is placed in the armpit under the dislocated shoulder while the proximal end is braced against the stomach of a skilled medical worker, who then pulls on a pulling end of a traction cord having a distal end connected to the patient's wrist by a wrist cuff. The traction cord may have a fixed end attached to the proximal end of the staff and may be operatively routed through a rachet mechanism, allowing the medical worker to relax during the procedure. A single person can reduce dislocated shoulders using the device.
