Early complications after anterior dislocation of the shoulder in patients over 40 years. An ultrasonographic and electromyographic study.

The rate of complications after anterior dislocation of the shoulder was evaluated in 65 patients aged over 40 years. 36 of 55 cases had electromyographically verified axillary nerve or brachial plexus injury. Rotator-cuff lesion was seen in 24 of the 63 sonographically examined cases. At follow-up in a telephone interview on average 3 years after the injury, 27 of the 57 cases had complaints from their shoulder. The incidence of initial nerve and/or cuff lesions was higher in those with persisting symptoms at follow-up.

Release of the subscapularis for internal rotation contracture and pain after anterior repair for recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder.

Ten patients who had an internal rotation contracture and pain after an anterior repair for recurrent dislocation of the shoulder were treated by release of the subscapularis muscle. For six of the patients, radiographs demonstrated severe osteoarthrotic changes in the shoulder as well. The release was done an average of eleven years after the original procedure, which, for most patients, had been a Putti-Platt repair. After release of the subscapularis, each patient had less pain in the shoulder and an average increase of 27 degrees of external rotation. Release of the subscapularis can offer relief of pain and of functional limitations associated with the symptoms caused by an internal rotation contracture after an anterior repair of the shoulder.

Radiographic evaluation of the modified Bristow procedure for recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder.

Concerning the radiological evaluation of the modified Bristow procedure in the operative treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder, several aspects are of importance. In the first place, the position of the coracoid transplant and the screw used to fix it with should be underneath the equator of the humeral head and within 1 cm of the glenoid rim. Secondly, bony union appears to take place in most instances in which the screw has enough length to reach the posterior cortex of the scapular neck. However, when the screw is too short, in most cases a fibrous union develops. These features can be demonstrated on three routine radiological examinations: the anatomical anterior-posterior view, the axial projection with internally rotated humerus and the axial view with the arm in external rotation.
