From September 1971 to August 1973, 13 cases of shoulder lesion were operated upon in our department. 4 cases of rotator cuff ruptures have excellent result but one of them who had complete ruptures of supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and subscapularis with tabes dorsalis for 10 years had 50 degrees abduction after 5 months of pedicle deltoid transfer with acromion and died by apoplectic stroke.
Anterior acromioplasty by Neer II for rotator cuff tendinitis were done in 3 cases.
Only one case was good result.
The case of the dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint which was treated by Weaver's method has excellent result.
One shoulder prosthesis for the cancer metastasis to the proximal head of humerus has followed the good physical condition but no active good range of shoulder motion.
