Kocher's Technique Demonstration - learn how to perfectly perform this technique from 1870

Kocher's technique is widely misunderstood, this video shows you which patients you should (and shouldn't) use this for, how to set up for success, and the perfect technique. For more detail, more anatomical explanation, or even a full english translation of the original 1870 paper go to dislocation.com.au

Hi mahmud the reason to rotate the forearm outwardly (supination) is to maximise the shortening of the biceps. This reduces the stretch at the other end of the bicep (long head) which is one of the major forces keeping the joint out when in spasm.

Thanks for the reply
I fear there’d be nerve damage if I mistakenly rotate the forearm inwardly(pronation) instead of outwardly(supination)
