Bristow procedure

The Bristow procedure is a surgical technique used to stabilize the shoulder joint, particularly after recurrent dislocations. During the operation, a small piece of bone from the shoulder blade is attached to the front of the shoulder joint to provide added support. This helps prevent the shoulder from dislocating again. The procedure is often recommended for athletes or those with active lifestyles. It aims to restore shoulder stability and function, allowing patients to return to their normal activities with reduced risk of future injuries.
