Abstract:
Numerous operations have been described to treat the recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder, but no one procedure was accepted as the choice of operation. We perforemed 6 Bristow procedures and 5 combined Bankart and Putti-Platt procedures and examined six shoulders by arthroscope from sep. 1989 to Sep. 1992, and we analysed the pathologic feature and the results of them. The average follow-up period was 2.2 years. 1. There were 8 males and 3 females and their average age was 33.7 years. The mean age in initial dislocation was 28 years. 2. The number of recurrent dislocation before operation was 17.9 times and the average duration of the disease was 5.7 years. 3. The pathologic lesions observed in intraoperative field were Hill-Sachs lesion (72.7%), Bankart lesion (90.9%), and the erosion of the glenoid rim (54.5%). On arthroscopic examination of 6 cases, Hill-Sachs lesion was found in 4 cases, Bankart lesion was seen in all of 6 cases, and the erosion of the glenoid rim was observed in 4 cases. 4. The average range of the limitation of external rotation was 17.3 and its significant difference was not observed between 2 operative groups. 5. By Rowes rating sheet, 4 cases of 5 combined Bankart and Putti-Platt operations were excellent and 1 case was good. 6. In conclusion, combined Bankart and Putt-Platt operation was considered as a good surgical procedure in the treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder.
