Tramadol abuse and shoulder dislocation
Journal Title: Journal of Emergency Practice and Trauma - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the shoulder dislocation following tramadol-induced seizure and its potential difference with other shoulder dislocations. We evaluated six cases that used tramadol tablets and some of them had a history of seizure. All of the cases had shoulder dislocation. According to the findings, tramadol use and tramadolinduced seizure may increase the risk of shoulder dislocation.
