RESUMO
A preliminary study of a new surgical technique included eight male patients with recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder, all managed operatively after failure of the rehabilitation program. The new surgical technique included four main steps done in one operation, namely imbrication of the redundant capsule, anterior bone block by using the coracoid process, muscular dynamic buttress for anterior and inferior capsule and finally imbrication of the upper half and lower half of the subscapularis muscle. Our average age 27.88 years ranged from 22 - 40 years. All achieved satisfactory results [excellent to good]. Bony union of the transferred coracoid process has occurred in all patients. No recurrence of dislocation has happened after an average follow up period of 3.15years ranged from 8 months to 6 years
