Abstract

Shoulder dislocation is a common cause of upper extremity disability. The recurrence rate is inversely proportional to the patient's age at the initial dislocation. There are several pathologic variations of anterior/inferior glenohumeral ligament laxity. The indications, contraindications, as well as the surgical procedure are reviewed in the following text. The postoperative rehabilitation program is briefly described.
