title: [Arthroscopic surgical technique in relapsing dislocations of the shoulder joint.].
abstract: The author describes in the submitted paper his own arthroscopic surgical technique used in relapsing and habitual dislocations of the shoulder joint. This technique is based on producing a special surgical tool (modified Kirschner wire) and refixation of the lesion of the labrum with the suture and the raphe of the bursa of the shoulder joint. The author used this method in 27 patients with the above diagnosis. After two-year follow-up he recorded a single relapse. The asset of the technique is that it is simple, not demanding on instruments required, that it can be implemented in the out-patient department without hospital admission, convalescence is rapid, the number of relapses is minimal and the sequelae as regards the cosmetic aspect are negligible. The achived results can be evaluated after a two-year follow up as very good, as regards relapses and restriction of movement in the shoulder joint. Key word: arthroscopic operation of the shoulder joint, relapsing dislocation of the shoulder, Bankart's laesion.
