Posterior Glenohumeral Joint Capsule Contracture

Structural and mechanical properties of the glenohumeral joint posterior capsule.

The purpose of this study was to quantify regional variations in material properties of the glenohumeral joint posterior capsule and to compare these data with the anterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (AB-IGHL). Mechanical properties were determined for individual bands of the AB-IGHL, superior posterior capsule (SUP-PC), middle posterior capsule (MID-PC), and inferior posterior ...

Assessing posterior shoulder contracture: the reliability and validity of measuring glenohumeral joint horizontal adduction.

CONTEXT Increased contracture of the dominant posterior shoulder in throwing athletes has been associated with the development of altered shoulder rotational motion as well as several shoulder conditions. Clinicians must be able to accurately and reliably measure posterior shoulder contractures during the evaluation of such athletes in order to provide appropriate treatment. OBJECTIVE To eval...

Posterior Instability of the Glenohumeral Joint: Diagnosis and Management

Posterior instability of the glenohumeral joint is being recognized with increasing frequency. The clinical manifestations of this problem most often begin insidiously, as the result of repetitive microtrauma and can be particularly disabling. Although many patients are able to reproduce their instability, diagnosis can be difficult. A detailed physical examination, plain radiographs, and appro...
