title: [Recurrence frequency following traumatic shoulder dislocation].
abstract: 99 cases of primary traumatic shoulder dislocation were evaluated in regard of the influence of the time of immobilization on recurrency. 3 weeks of strict immobilization gave a recurrency rate as low as 6.4% whereas a shorter immobilization resulted in 12% of recurrency within 1--6 years. A survey from 46 other clinics as well as the literature has given no evidence of clear rules of treatment and thus the discussion of treatment remains open.
