[Recurrent dislocation of the shoulder].

The article describes rich experience in the surgical treatment of the habitual dislocation in the shoulder joint. The method is based on the anatomo-physiological grounds consisting in the repair of the capsule ligament and elimination of the provocating influence of the subcapsular muscle which had lost its elasticity because of injuries in each dislocation. Operations, when correctly fulfilled, result in favourable outcomes in 94--95% of cases.
