pubmed-article:617174 | pubmed:abstractText | Study of 55 cases of recurrent dislocation of the shoulder treated by the operation of Bankart and Putti-Platt during 10 years. A new dislocation after the operation was present in one single case. The authors opinion is that the most important point of the technique is the correct reinsertion of the anteroinferior part of the capsule. If the glenoidal labrum is detached from the rim, the Bankart technique must be combined with the Putti-Platt. A comprehensive review of the results demonstrates that the patients are rarely disturbed by the limitation of external rotation of the operated shoulder. | lld:pubmed |
