From January 1990 to December 1998, 48 patients with 50 recurrent anterior dislocations of the shoulder were treated using a modified Boytchev procedure. The age of the patients varied from 18 to 35 years (average 24.7 years). The follow-up period was in average 88 (26-132) months. Six patients were lost in follow-up. Forty-two shoulders showed excellent results. There was one traction injury of the musculocutaneous nerve and one patient with immediate recurrence of the dislocation. Superficial wound infection occurred in five cases, all of which were controlled by antibiotics.
