[Pathogenesis and surgical treatment of "periarthritis humeroscapularis" (author's transl)].

The technique according to Dautry takes into special consideration the conflict between the supraspinal tendon and the coraco-acromial ligament. Postoperative follow-up treatment is of particular importance. Follow-up examinations were performed in 84 patients with a follow-up period between one and 14 years. The results were graded "good" to "very good" in 85% of the patients. The poor results are subjected to a special analysis. The relevant indication and contra-indication is shown for each case. The advantages offered by this method are discussed and compared with the other currently employed methods.
