Computerised arthrotomography was performed on 33 patients four to six weeks after acute primary anterior dislocation of the shoulder. Seventeen patients were under, and 16 over 50 years of age. Damage to the anterior glenoidal labrum was seen in all the younger patients and in 75% of the older ones. A large redundant capsular pouch, seen in the older patients, was present in 35% of the younger ones, and a posterior humeral head defect was seen in 82% of the younger patients and only 50% of the older. Associated fractures were more common in the older patients, and a tear of the rotator cuff was demonstrated in 63% of the older patients and in none of the younger ones.
