REMON DAVILA, Xiomara et al. Recurrent shoulder luxation: New approach in the postoperative treatment. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2001, vol.15, n.1-2, pp. 55-60. ISSN 1561-3100.

30 patients operated on of recurrent shoulder luxation among whom an early postoperative rehabilitation scheme was used in order to achieve the fast incorporation of the patients to their habitual activities, were studied. 16 of them were males (53.4 %) and 14 females (46.6 %). 3 surgical techniques were used: Boytchev, in 22 shoulders (73.4 %); Bristow, in 4 (13.3 %); and Latarjet, in 4 (13.3 %). The shoulder luxation was more common in the age group 20-30, with a total of 14 patients (46.6 %). A complication, a partial deshicence of the surgical wound (3.3 %), was obdserved. The time elapsed between the operation and the incorporation to the habitual activities was of 9 weeks approximately thanks to the early rehabilitation. 100 % of the patients that underwent surgery were able to recover.
