title: Oblique capsular shift in anterior and anteroinferior shoulder instability.
abstract: Patients submitted to oblique capsular shift were followed-up; this is a personal method used to treat recurrent anterior and anteroinferior dislocation of the shoulder. A total of 186 patients were followed-up. The results were good as there were no recurrences, recovery of shoulder movement was early and ample, and the Constant score was about 81.2.
