[A simple and effective method of the treatment of habitual shoulder dislocation].

The authors propose a method of surgical treatment of habitual dislocation of the shoulder which consists in partial section of the subscapular muscle tendon in 1/2 of its diameter and inserting the long head tendon of the musculus biceps brachii inke is fixed to the humerus by trans-osseous+ sutures. The operation was performed in 207 patients. The observation terms in 181 patients exceed 2 years, and in 26 patients they are less than 2 years. The relapses of the dislocation have been observed in 3 (1.6%) patients, in 2 of them they occurred 5 and 8 years after severe injuries.
