[The management of complete shoulder joint dislocation without metallic implants].

In 14 patients reduction of the acromioclavicular joint was reinforced by completely absorbable polydioxanon cord. In 3 cases parts of the cord were rejected and a fistula formed through the scar without further impairment following as a result of healing local treatment. Altogether we had 12 good and 2 poor results with respect to function, X-ray appearance and pain. The complication rate and general outcome of the method described do not differ substantially from those of other commonly used procedures. However, no second operation for removal of the metal implants is necessary.

[Treatment of posterior instability of the shoulder joint using an acromial stop with a pediculated deltoid flap].

Our purpose has been to describe an original surgical technique without describing all the problems concerning the posterior instability. The original technique has a double effect: active with the muscular flap and passively mechanic, if necessary, by the bone graft. Five patients have been treated with this technique with a follow-up of one year and a half. 4 females and 1 male with an average age of 32 years 1/2. 2 were recurrent posterior instability, one unintentional and 2 intentional subluxations. 2 were epileptics. In all cases, the disparition of the instability was obtained. Full range of movement and sport were resumed at the former level. On X-rays, the humeral head was centered. By its double mechanism, active with the muscular flap and possibly passive with the bone graft, this technic is reliable to treat the majority of posterior instability. It combines the way of action searched in physiotherapy and capsulomyoplasties to center the humeral head and this one by the bone graft in case of posterior glenoid fracture or dysplasia. It doesn't have the insufficiencies of physiotherapy or capsulomyoplasties in posterior traumatic instabilities, nor from the classical bone graft over the glenoid posterior wall, cause of osteoarthritis and pain.
