title: The modified Bristow procedure for recurrent dislocation of the shoulder.
abstract: A review of fifty-one cases of the modified Bristow procedure for recurrent anterior shoulder instability is presented. The results were favorable. The redislocation rate was 2% with few complications. The average limitation of motion was 11 degrees of external rotation. Athletic individuals with involvement of the dominant shoulder were not capable of returning to high performance levels of overhead sports activity (particularly throwing) after the operation.
