The outcome of treatment of 55 patients with blocked posterior dislocation of shoulder was estimated in a period of 1–24 months (mean 14.25 ± 5.91 months). The analysis showed that the index was very low with a mean value of 1.61 ± 0.42 points. The low outcome was due to the vast anatomical injuries which brought to the functional disturbances. The experience of the recovery operations showed the difficulty in the selection of operative methods. In 21 cases plastic surgery was done which was worked out in the clinic. This allowed the recovery of the anatomical interrelations and significantly improved the function of the upper extremity. It was concluded that in 9.00 ± 0.97 months after surgery and rehabilitation treatment in patients (on index scale), the pain syndrome was slightly present or completely eliminated. There was a significant increase in active movements with satisfactory and good recovery of the shoulderjoint function.
