BACKGROUND: Dislocation of the shoulder is one of our earliest frequent injuries. Many procedures have been evaluated for treatment of the condition since the mid 1960s. The modified Bristow procedure was initially described in 1970 by May. Technically easy, the procedure is very effective in prevention of redislocation, and has gained popularity over two decades of use. METHODS: A retrospective study was done of 32 @entity1 with recurrent @entity2065 , who had received modified Bristow procedure during the years 1987 through 1991 in this Hospital. Average followup period was 26 months. RESULTS: At postoperative evaluation, average loss of external rotation and abduction as compared to the nonoperated side were 15 and 10 degrees, respectively. There was no limitation on daily activity, but some little restriction in extreme throwing sports was found. @entity260 included three @entity1 who had bone block resorption and one @entity1 who had superficial wound @entity281 . There was no redislocation nor implant loosening in the study. CONCLUSIONS: This procedure is technically easy, had a low rate of complication, a high degree of @entity1 satisfaction and very effectively prevents redislocation.
