Best evidence topic report. Kocher's or Milch's technique for reduction of anterior shoulder dislocations

A short cut review was carried out to establish whether Kocher's or Milch's technique was better at reducing shoulder dislocations. A total of 304 papers were found of which one answered the three part question. The clinical bottom line is that the individual preference of physicians for either Kocher's or Milch's method of reduction is not supported by the evidence.
