title: [The results of treatment of posterior shoulder dislocation].
abstract: The paper reports results of treatment for 5 posterior dislocations of the shoulder in 4 patients. Closed reduction was successful in 2 cases (2 days and 14 days after injury). Spontaneous reduction after removal of the Desault plaster cast 3 weeks after injury was observed in one case. Two patients with inveterate dislocation have been operated on. The defect within humeral head was filled with an allogenic bone graft in one patient and by lesser tuberosity transposition in another. Modified Constant score was used for clinical evaluation at the follow-up ranging from 5.5 months to 56 months (mean 30.4 months). Two excellent and one good result were achieved in conservatively treated cases. After surgery one result was rated poor (allograft case) and one good (lesser tuberosity transposition).
