Abstract
We have performed the modified Oudard-Iwahara-Yamamoto method ( modified O-I-Y) for these cases with not only recurrent anterior dislocation but also recurrent anterior subluxation since 1976. We will present the clinical results of the modified-O-I-Y for the cases with recurrent anterior subluxation.
59 shoulders in 58 cases with recurrent anterior subluxation were examined the Age ranged from 13 to 59 years old, and averaged 22.7. we mainly investigated their arthroscopic findings, postoperative recurrences, and complaints. They all had various diffuse lesions in their joints. Only one case subluxed after the operation. All the cases except one were negative in the anterior apprehension test. The clinical results were the same for both recurrent anterior dislocations and subluxations with intensive instability. Our investigations confirmed that the modified O-I-Y should become a dynamic stabilizing mechanism for cases with anterior instability such as recurrent anterior subluxation.
