Repair of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder using transfer of the subscapularis tendon
J Karadimas, G Rentis and G Varouchas
Transfer of the subscapularis tendon using a slightly modified
Magnuson-Stack procedure was done in 154 shoulders with recurrent anterior
dislocation. A follow-up to two to twenty-two years (average, 7.6 years)
revealed only three recurrences of the dislocation and no serious
complications.
