Why the study?
Does immobilization of the arm in external rotation improve the approximation of the Bankart lesion to the glenoid neck compared to conventional internal rotation after glenohumeral joint dislocation?
Population

Should not yet alter post-dislocation immobilization; leaves open whether better approximation improves stability.
Does immobilization of the arm in external rotation improve the approximation of the Bankart lesion to the glenoid neck compared to conventional internal rotation after glenohumeral joint dislocation?
Immobilization in external rotation may provide better anatomical alignment for Bankart lesions after shoulder dislocation compared to the traditional internal rotation.
