There are different procedures for surgical treatment of a recidivating ventral dislocation of the shoulder. In our hospital the rotatory osteotomy according to Weber proved good; in accordance with the findings it can be combined with other procedures. The surgical procedures and our results are explained. In our opinion, this surgical treatment will effect, besides known results (rotation of head defect to lateral), an essential stabilisation of the joint, by means of strain exercised on M. infraspinatus and the upper part of M. teres minor.
