[Bristow surgical treatment of shoulder dislocation].

14 shoulders with recurrent anterior dislocation were treated with a modified Bristow procedure and had a 38 to 66 months follow up after surgery. Postoperatively no patient had recurrent anterior dislocation. 4 patients had an average loss of external rotation of 10-15 degrees, one patient had a non-union of the transplanted coracoid. None of the patients was disappointed by the results.
