Prevalence of associated injuries after XXXX : a prospective study.

@entity1 @entity174 @entity75 @entity1051 @entity128 @entity717 @entity2065
PURPOSE: Anterior shoulder dislocation can be associated with many lesions such as @entity75 , @entity717 ( @entity717 ), @entity1051 or greater tuberosity fractures. It has been documented that early management of the associated injury affords better recovery of shoulder function. The aim of this study was to highlight the incidence of associated injuries after @entity2065 . METHODS: A total of 240 @entity1 with @entity2065 were subjected to complete history taking, neurovascular assessment and pre-reduction plain X-ray. An X-ray was taken immediately after reduction. Ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were done within one  week after reduction in all @entity1 . Nerve conduction studies were ordered for any @entity1 with suspected @entity128 . RESULTS: Associated lesions were reported in 144 (60  %) @entity1 . @entity717 was the most common injury (67 cases). It was isolated in 34 @entity1 (14.15  %), while it was combined with other lesions in 33 cases (13.75  %). @entity128 was encountered in 38 @entity1 , of them 8 (3.33  %) were isolated and 30 (12.5  %) were combined. Greater tuberosity @entity174 was found in 37 @entity1 , of them 15 (6.25  %) were combined with @entity128 , and in the other 22 @entity1 (9.17  %) the @entity174 was isolated. All cases with Hill-Sachs and @entity75 were combined lesions with no isolated cases. There was a significant relation between the incidence of associated injuries and age, mechanism of injury and the affected side. CONCLUSIONS: Lesions associated with @entity2065 are more frequent than expected. Thorough clinical examination and detailed imaging including US and MRI are mandatory to avoid a missed diagnosis.
