Abstract
Six patients with posterior recurrent dislocation of the shoulder were treated by the Scott procedure. Three were male and three female. The age distribution was from 8 to 29. The follow-up period ranged from 1 year, 3 months to 9 years, 3 months with an average of 7 years, 2 months. The range of motion and X -ray findings were good in all cases at follow-up time.
Thus good results could be predicable by the Scott procedure for posterior dislocation of the shoulder. Another merit of the Scott procedures is that glenoplasty can be simultaneously performed in a patient with loose shoulder. Only one case developed redislocation after a year and a half. This case was salvaged by the Iino procedure (bone graft at acromion) and the result remains satisfactory after 1 year, 3 months.
