Repair of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder using transfer of the subscapularis tendon.
Transfer of the subscapularis tendon using a slightly modified Magnuson-Stack procedure was done in 154 shoulders with recurrent anterior dislocation. A follow-up to two to twenty-two years (average, 7.6 years) revealed only three recurrences of the dislocation and no serious complications.
