Since 1979 we have performed operations for loose shoulder on 75 joints in 60 cases, and since 1984, inferior capsular shift on 47 joints in 38 cases (males, 10 joints in 10 cases ranging from 17 to 30 years old; females, 37 joints in 28 cases ranging from 13 to 28 years old) .Two joints in 2 cases had to be reoperated on, and the collagen in the capsule, muscle and skin of their shoulder joint had relatively immature fibers compared with that in other cases. Recently we have performed capsule's opening shift as an additional operation and have met with good results.
