Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Shoulder dislocation is a common injury among young athletes, especially those who play contact sports. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the return to preinjury sporting activities in patients who have undergone a conservative treatment with immobilisation after a primary anterior shoulder dislocation. We conducted electronic searches without restriction of language on the EMBASE and PUBMED databases, using the term ‘shoulder dislocation’ for each database. All prospective studies that have evaluated the role of immobilisation for first-time shoulder dislocation were included in this review. Author's name, year of publication, design of study, population, sample size, follow-up times, immobilisation method, and the rate of patients' return to preinjury sporting activities were extracted from the selected articles. The instrument used for assessing the risk of bias of the included articles was the PEDro scale. A total of 7397 studies were found. From the four studies included in this review four of them used external rotation (ER) as treatment for three weeks. A total of 214 participants were recruited for ER and 169 for internal rotation (IR). On average, 58.9% (95% CI 51.1% to 64.7%) for immobilisation in ER and 42.6% (95% CI 34.5% to 49.8%) for immobilisation in IR returned to preinjury sports activities. PEDro scores for the included studies ranged from 3 to 6. On the basis of the best available evidence that the studies reported, on average <60% return to preinjury sports activity level.
