Recurrent gleno-humeral posterior dislocations represent 4% of all recurrent shoulder dislocations, their causes are diverse. The therapeutic management depends mainly on the size of Mac Laughlin's humeral notch. The authors report the case of an athlete with posterior glenohumeral instability following a first episode of posterior dislocation. Computed tomography revealed a notch occupying 35% of the humeral head. The patient underwent a bloody reduction with filling of the humeral notch by transposition of the trochin and subscapularis.
