OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the functional results of Bristow and Puttiplatt procedures in Recurrent traumatic Anterior dislocation of Shoulder in Adults.
STUDY DESIGN: Quasi Experimental.
PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: Department of Orthopaedic surgery, Chandka Medical College Larkana from January 2007 to December 2008.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty seven patients with recurrent traumatic anterior dislocation of Shoulder , irrespective of sex, with ages between 18 and 55 years were included in the study and evaluated for functional results after the Bristow and Puttiplatt procedures . Data was analysed using SPSS statistical package.
Results: Twenty seven patients with Traumatic Recurrent Anterior dislocation of Shoulder were treated with either Bristow( 18 patients) or Puttiplatt (9) procedures.In Bristow procedure 10 patients had excellent results(55.5%), 6 had good results(33.3%), 1 had fair (5.55%) and only 1 patient had poor result(5.55%). On the other hand only one patient with the puttiplatt had excellent result(11.1%), two had good results( 22.2%), four had fair (44.4%) and two patients were seen with poor results(22.2%). P. value was 0.023.
