Arthroscopic Posterior Capsular Shaft for Traumatic Recurrent Unidirectional Posterior Subluxation of the Shoulder

Arthroscopic posterior stabilization and anterior capsular plication for recurrent posterior glenohumeral instability.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes and identify predictors of success for arthroscopic posterior Bankart reconstruction with modern suture anchor repair and anterior capsulolabral plication in a well-defined patient population-recurrent, traumatic, involuntary, unidirectional posterior shoulder instability. METHODS Patients with recurrent, traumatic, involuntary, u...

Posterior capsular contracture of the shoulder.

Posterior capsular contracture is a common cause of shoulder pain in which the patient presents with restricted internal rotation and reproduction of pain. Increased anterosuperior translation of the humeral head occurs with forward flexion and can mimic the pain reported with impingement syndrome; however, the patient with impingement syndrome presents with normal range of motion. Initial mana...

Recurrent posterior shoulder instability.

Recurrent posterior shoulder instability is an uncommon condition. It is often unrecognized, leading to incorrect diagnoses, delays in diagnosis, and even missed diagnoses. Posterior instability encompasses a wide spectrum of pathology, ranging from unidirectional posterior subluxation to multidirectional instability to locked posterior dislocations. Nonsurgical treatment of posterior shoulder ...

Recurrent posterior shoulder instability.

Recurrent posterior shoulder instability is an uncommon, debilitating condition in young adults that is being diagnosed with increasing frequency. Although a number of predisposing factors have been identified, their relative importance remains poorly understood. Poor results have been reported following operative intervention to treat recurrent posterior instability with nonanatomic techniques...
