Summary

Boytchev's operation for recurrent dislocation of the shoulder, in which three muscles attached to the coracoid process are re-routed deep to the subscapularis muscle and immediately adjacent to the gleno-capsular rent, is described. Seventeen patients have been reviewed after an average post-operative interval of six years. No recurrence of the dislocation had occurred and all patients were graded as excellent or good on objective examination although on subjective assessment one patient was considered only fair and the remainder good or excellent.

Résumé

Description de la technique de Boytchev dans le traitement de la luxation récidivante de l'épaule. Les trois muscles insérés sur l'apophyse coracoïde sont passés sous la terminaison du sous-scapulaire au contact de la capsule articulaire. Dix-sept opérés ont été revus avec un recul moyen de six ans. Il n'y avait eu aucune récidive de la luxation et tous les malades ont pu être cotés comme excellent, ou bon résultat lors de l'examen. D'un point de vue subjectif un seul patient n'avait qu'un résultat médiocre, tous les autres étaient bons ou excellents.
