title: [Reduction of old unreduced anterior dislocations of the shoulder (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors have reviewed 15 old unreduced anterior dislocations of the shoulder. Most of the results were poor after resection or surgical reduction with reefing of the capsule. In two cases the technique described by Boyd was employed. After open reduction, the joint was stabilised by a transplant of the long head of biceps which was attached to the clavicle after passing in front of the joint behind subscapularis. This technique allows an early mobilisation and gave good results in two cases.
