Abstract

A case of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder in the aged is presented. An 88-year-old female dislocated her right shoulder, and then had approximately another 5 times dislocations since. X-ray revealed posterolateral notch and MRI revealed rotator cuff tear. After Öudard-Iwahara·Yamamoto modified procedure, she had no complaints, and no recurrence was noted until 3.5 years after the operation. Based on our experience, Öudard-Iwahara·Yamamoto modified procedure is recommended in the elderly person.
