On the surgical treatment of habitual dislocations of the shoulder. Kellogg-Speed (Surgery, gynecology and obstetrics, 1927, No. 4)

The author suggests the following method of treatment: after a vertical incision running from the cranial process to the lower edge of the m. The author suggests the following method of treatment: after a vertical incision going to the pectoralis majoris (in subjects with a strongly developed musculature this muscle is cut across, in women it is usually enough to move it downwards) the neurovascular bundle is reached and it is carefully taken away to the side. Then the anterior edge of the joint socket is found and an opening is made in its lower part, into which a bone pin taken from the tibia is inserted; if it seems necessary, the joint capsule is sutured with several stitches; then catgut stitches are placed on the muscle and aponeurosis and silk stitches on the skin, and a small swab is placed in the lower edge of the wound. The arm is bandaged to the torso.
