Objective:

To assess the effectiveness of new techniques as a reduction method in anterior glenohumeral dislocations.

Method:

Literature review with descriptive approach.

Results and Conclusions:

The literature review establishes that there is a new reduction method for anterior glenohumeral dislocations: the Prakash technique. The technique is effective, fast and easy to use, with no subsequent complications. The Prakash technique is one of the methods that should be used as the main one, before using the common ones because of its level of efficiency. However, it is necessary to emphasize that more controlled research is needed for the implementation of this method to be validated.
