Résumé : In the recurrent dislocation of the shoulder the Bankart operation has proved to be one of the best salvage procedures. Unfortunately, it leaves a disgracious scar. The authors have therefore adopted the axillary approach to perform the Bankart operation. Of course it is not so easy. The neuromuscular bundle is left aside. The coraco-brachialis muscle is either divided transversally or divided partially on its lateral border and is sutured at the end of the operation. The subcapularis is divided vertically. In some instances, capsule and muscle be adherent, than both are divided simultaneously. The anatomical reconstruction is performed exactly as described in the Bankart technic. Surgical details are reported. In the first ten cases, the recovery has been excellent : no limitation of the mobility, no recurrence and of course no visible scar.
