The aim of this retrospective study was to review a series of patients with ipsilateral fractures of the neck of the scapula and of the clavicle. Between 1991 and 1996 a total of 79 general and orthopaedic surgeons treated 46 patients with a floating

1. A series of experiments on the tensile strength of the anterior capsular mechanism have been performed. These show that in the young the weakest point is the glenoid labral attachment, whereas in the elderly calcification of tissues makes the capsule and subscapular tendon weaker. 2. It has been shown previously that glenoid labral detachment is the common injury in the young at the time of an acute dislocation, whereas capsular rupture and subscapularis tendon damage occur in the elderly. 3. These findings suggest that in an acute anterior dislocation of the
