[Cancellous metal implant in the surgical treatment of recurrent post-traumatic shoulder dislocation]

After a short abstract about history and principles in the operative treatment of recurrent dislocation of the shoulder joint and after an illustration of disadvantages and complications in the operative technique described by Eden-Hybinette-Lange, which is favoured in the German speaking area, we are introducing a modification of this technique by use of an implant made from cancellous metal "Lübeck" instead of a bone block. In addition to the introduction of this new technique, first results in 14 patients undergoing this operation are shown up.
