title: [Magnuson-Stack operation for chronic anterior shoulder instability].
abstract: Between the years 1975-1992 we operated on 30 cases of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder by the Magnuson-Stack procedure, using the subscapularis tendon. 23 patients (25 shoulders) have since been followed for an average of 5 years. We developed a comprehensive shoulder rating scale to evaluate functional status of involved shoulders. By this rating system the results were excellent in 73.9% of the cases, good in 17.4% and fair in 8.7%. The operation is technically simple, rapid, had no complications and is at least as effective as other operations.
