A clinical follow-up of the pes anserinus transplantation for chronic anteromedial rotatory instability of the knee.

Twenty-seven patients with chronic anteromedial rotatory instability were treated by pes anserinus transplant with an 85% satisfactory result. Muscle rehabilitation is absolutely essential for a good result. Delay of surgery by prolonged conservative management may contribute to the development of degenerative changes in the medial compartment.

A review of the Bristow operation for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation in athletes.

Twenty-four recurrent dislocating shoulders, in patients ranging from 15 to 26 years, were evaluated after surgical treatment using the Bristow procedure. The operative procedure is discussed in detail recommending the use of an A-O malleolar compression screw, because of ease in insertion, to fix the caroacoid process to the anterior scapular neck. The Bristow procedure as described is an effective operation for achieving shoulder stability while maintaining nearly a complete range of motion in most cases.
