title: [Results of treatment of habitual laxation of the shoulder with modified surgical technique (author's transl)].
abstract: The article describes a modification of the original surgical technique employed by M. Lange in the treatment of habitual laxation of the shoulder. This consists mainly of opening the joint with bone chip implantation under visual control, and turning the spongy side towards the head of the humerus and interpositioning the capsula while tightening the same. In addition, however, the point of insertion of the subscapular tendon is shifted while drawing it tighter also. The article describes the advantages, as seen from the case histories of 57 operations, about one-half being subjected to follow-up examinations over a period of at least 3 years, on the average 9 years. In all patients, excellent to good stabilisation of the shoulder was achieved.
