title: Satisfactory long-term results after Eden-Hybbinette-Alvik operation for recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder: 6-20 years' follow-up of 52 patients.
abstract: We studied the outcome after the Eden-Hybbinette-Alvik operation for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation in 52 patients after a mean of 14 (6-20) years. Their mean age at operation was 26 years. Redislocation occurred in 2/52 patients. The success rate was 49/52, when rated by the patients, and 38/45, using the Carter-Rowe shoulder score. 44/52 reported no pain, 48/52 no limitations at work and 37/51 no limitations in sports. Mild and moderate arthrosis were found in 24/45 on the operated side and 9/45 on the uninvolved side. None (0/21) of the patients without arthrosis and 5/24 of those with arthrosis in the operated shoulder reported mild or moderate pain.
