Recurrent dislocation of the shoulder: twenty-five years experience with the Delitala method.
The authors report the clinical and radiographic results of 57 patients operated on for recurrent dislocation of the shoulder by the Delitala method. The age at operation ranged from 16 to 45 years. The follow-up was an average of 10 years (minimum 1, maximum 25 years) and the results were good or excellent in most of the cases. The failures included one case of recurrence and two of stiffness.
