Patients with recurrent dislocation of the shoulder were treated by Oudard-lwahara-Yamamoto's procedure and a short-term follow-up was carried out. The shoulder were evaluated by the JOA score and computed tomography. The average JOA score was 91 points. This procedzre is a simple technique which produces good results for patients with recurrent dislocation.
On the computed tomography with doulble contrast arthrography, the grafted bone was found in the conjoined tendon, which was confirmed by a computed tomographic study and a cadaver also undergoing this procedure.
The absorptio n rate of the grafted bone suggests that the role the conjoined tendon plays on the influence of a grafted bone should be studied more.
