Astley Cooper has described a technique, the reposition of anterior shoulder dislocation by the frontal arm elevation, on 1825. The author’s aim was to show his own results when reposing frontal shoulder dislocation by this simple and secure technique. In the KBC Zemun emergency service, from 2003 to 2007, by this technique, 32 anterior shoulder dislocations with or without fractures of the greater tuberosity fracture, were reposed. The reposition was successful in all dislocations, and total short lasting anesthesia was used to two patients (3 dislocations). The basic advantage of this technique is that it is physiological, simple and does not demand strong physical force, and the neuron-bone complications were not recorded.
