[Structural damage after shoulder dislocation and development of surgical treatment from a historical perspective]

In the nineteenth century there was a high incidence of habitual shoulder instability caused by epileptic seizures and accompanied by therapeutic dilettantism, which led to socioeconomic problems in the working population. In the preradiography era the pathomechanism of shoulder dislocation was only known on the basis of cadaver studies and autopsy findings. The underlying structural disorders of habitual shoulder instability in the Bismarck era were published by Malgaigne, Broca and Hartmann. In1898 the first surgical reconstructive stabilization procedure for habitual shoulder dislocation was performed by Wilhelm Müller in Rostock. At the beginning of the twentieth century Perthes introduced the anatomical reconstruction of the capsulolabral complex, which was copied in the English speaking area by Bankart. Surgical wrong tracks through extra-anatomical procedures, capsulorrhaphy and tendon transfer, were followed by bone block procedures according to Eden-Hybinette and a modification of this procedure by Lange. In the French speaking area Latarjet introduced the transfer of the coracoid process in the middle of the 1950s, which brought the advantage of simultaneous dynamic stabilization to bony augmentation of the glenoidacetabulum .
