ANTERIOR DISLOCATION OF THE SHOULDER

The Rôle of the Articular Capsule

Toufick Nicola M.D.1

1 Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, Mountainside Hospital, Montclair

The location of the tear of the articular capsule varies in different cases, and depends upon the force,—hyperabduction tears the capsule from neck of the humerus, and hyperabduction plus impaction tears it from the neck of the scapula.

Open operation on initial acute dislocations in young individuals who expect to return to active sports will give a higher percentage of cures.
