We report a patient who was reexamined arthroscopically after the modified Bristow procedure. The patient was a 28 years old man. Three years three months previously, he had been treated for recurrent dislocation of the shoulder which had bone defects on the glenoid with the modified Bristow procedure. Because he developed pain of the right shoulder, the shoulder was examined arthroscopically. Arthroscopic findings showed the conjoin tendon and screw used for fixation to be intra-articular and that the bone defect on the glenoid had restored well. The articular side of the transferred coracoid was covered by chondroid tissue though it histologically showed fibrocartilage. The modified Bristow procedure was shown to be an excellent therapy for recurrent dislocation of the shoulder with bone defects on the glenoids.
