ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the clinical results of Magnuson-stack operation in recurrent anterior shoulder instability

Methodology: Twenty-six patients with mean age of 27 years had undergone Magnuson-stack operation from July 2001 to September 2009 with mean follow up of 40 months. The clinical outcome was recorded according to Quick DASH score (Iranian version).

Results: There were no redislocations. Clinical outcome was excellent in eighteen (70%), and good in 8 (30%). The limitation in shoulder external rotation was observed in all of the patients without significant functional impairment.

Conclusion: We conclude that although in Magnuson-Stack procedure we do not correct the anatomical defect of the recurrent anterior shoulder instability, but the ease of the operation and the relatively good clinical results are the reasons to use them in these patients, if arthroscopic repair facilities are not available.

KEY WORDS: Magnuson-stack, Recurrent, Shoulder instability, Quick DASH score.
