SummaryâFifty-two cases of exposure of the glenoid labrum are recorded. Fifty-one operations with anterior exposure, followed by capsular reefing and shortening of the subscapularis, were successful. One operation with superior exposure, and without capsular reefing or shortening of the subscapularis, was unsuccessful.

1. A case of recurrent posterior subluxation of the shoulder is described. After failure of a soft-tissue repair, a posterior bone block operation was performed. 2. The distinction between traumatic dislocations with tearing of the capsule or of the glenoid labrum, and habitual luxations from laxity of the capsule, is emphasised. Although the anterior rim of the glenoid was detached in this case, it is considered to fall into the latter category. 3. A posterior bone block provides a simple and efficient form of repair in this type of case. It is free from the disadvantage of causing limitation of rotation at the shoulder joint; it employs a principle which might well merit more application than at present in the repair of anterior dislocations.
Aims. Dislocation remains a significant complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA), being the third leading indication for revision. We present a series of acetabular revision using a dual mobility cup (DMC) and compare this with our previous series using the posterior lip augmentation device (PLAD). Methods. A retrospective review of patients treated with either a DMC or PLAD for dislocation in patients with a Charnley THA was performed. They were identified using electronic patient records (EPR). EPR data and radiographs were evaluated to determine operating time, length of stay, and the incidence of complications and
The natural history of primary anterior dislocation
of the glenohumeral joint in adolescent patients remains unclear and
there is no consensus for management of these patients. The objectives of this study were to report the natural history
of primary anterior dislocation of the glenohumeral joint in adolescent
patients and to identify the risk factors for
