When the parts surrounding are very little diseased, only a small amount of bone having been removed, and when the operation has been carried out subperiosteally, motions should be begun much earlier, sometimes between the second and third weeks. Abduction should be very gently made in the beginning to avoid dislocating the head. Massage, electricity, and passive motions should be carried out daily.

Kocher's method gives excellent access to the back part of the joint, stress being laid upon the preservation of the deltoid (circumflex nerve). The patient lies upon the healthy side. The sharply arched skin incision extends above from the region of the acromioclavicular articulation, into which it soon enters, to the height of the shoulder, then along the upper edge of the crest of the spine to its middle point. It then curves laterally downward to a point two fingers' breadth from the posterior axillary fold. The tendinous muscular insertion of the trapezius is separated from the upper free edge of the spine of the scapula to the extent of the upper leg of the angular incision. Corresponding to the lower leg, the dense fascial leaf is split upon the posterior surface of the deltoid, and the lower edge of this muscle is then bluntly dissected free. The deltoid can now be easily lifted up and freed from the infraspinatus an...
