Residual muscle weakness in obstetric brachial plexus palsy results in soft-tissue contractures which limit the functional range of movement and lead to progressive glenoid dysplasia and joint instability. We describe the results of surgical treatment in 98 patients (mean age 2.5 years, 0.5 to 9.0) for the correction of active abduction of the
We measured torsion of the humeral head in 38 patients (40 shoulders) with recurrent anterior dislocation of the
The results of 63 operative repairs of chronic tears of the rotator cuff in 61 patients are reviewed retrospectively; the mean follow-up was 32.7 months. Fifty-four patients presented with symptoms of persistent pain and seven patients with gross loss of movement. All the patients had failed to respond to conservative treatment. Results were assessed in terms of relief of pain, restoration of movement, the patients' ability to return to work and whether they were satisfied with the results. Overall, a good result in terms of relief of pain was achieved in 40
