title: [Value of heterologous bone transplants in the surgical therapy of habitual shoulder dislocation].
abstract: 45 heterologous bone grafts of "Kiel Bone" were radiologically examined after operative treatment of recurrent shoulder dislocation in the technique of M. Lange. The postoperative period differed between 1 and 17 years. Bony consolidation was achieved in 80% of the cases. Signs of resorption were postoperatively found in 14 cases. Five of them consolidated secondaryly. The results of our study show the usefulness of "Kiel Bone" in the treatment of recurrent shoulder dislocation. It should not be used as a bone graft in cases which require quick an secure consolidation. In these cases autologous bone grafts are superior.
