MODIFIED BOYTCHEV PROCEDURE FOR THE TREATMENT OF RECURRENT ANTERIOR DISLOCATION OF SHOULDER

Dr Anant Kumar Garg, Dr Nitin Kumar

Abstract :

The Modified Boytchev is no more a controversial procedure for treatment of shoulder instability and it is only procedure which has valid and proved scientific study illustrating the mechanism of prevention of dislocation. Since June 2002 this procedure was performed on 48 patients, in the age group of 18-40 yr,.All the patients regained almost pre-operative range of forward flexion at the last follow-up. At the last follow-up the mean external rotation deficit at 0 degree and at 90 degree of abduction was 8.06�2.47 & 8.95�2.07 respectively. This improvement in external rotation deficit is statistically significant ( p<0.05).All patients had significant improvement in VAS score, modified ASES score and SANE score at the last follow up after the Modified Boytchev procedure..
