Arthroscopic treatment of anterior glenohumeral instability: indications and techniques.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The arthroscopic treatment of anterior glenohumeral instability is becoming increasingly accepted as a viable treatment option because reported success rates parallel those of open stabilization techniques. This improved success rate is largely the result of advances in surgical techniques and technology. An improved understanding of the pathoanatomy associated with shoulder instability and continuing education initiatives have also been instrumental in expanding the indications for arthroscopic stabilization of the unstable shoulder. Important considerations during arthroscopy include identifying all pathology, mobilizing soft tissue, enhancing the local biology to promote soft-tissue healing to bone or to itself, securing anatomic fixation, and respecting the healing period during postoperative rehabilitation efforts. Principal contraindications include significant bone deficits and the inability to repair capsular avulsions or rupture. Adherence to these basic principles should lead to excellent results with arthroscopic stabilization of the unstable shoulder.

Recent advances in arthroscopic repair of traumatic anterior glenohumeral instability.
Traumatic anterior instability is the most common type of glenohumeral instability. Although surgical treatment with an open technique has produced excellent results, there has been a trend toward arthroscopic treatment. As understanding of instability advances along with improvements in surgical techniques and instrumentation, arthroscopic results are fast approaching those seen with open proc...

متن کاملHumeral Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligament: Indications for Surgical Treatment and Outcomes—A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND The inferior glenohumeral ligament, the most important static anterior stabilizer of the shoulder, becomes disrupted in humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) lesions. Unfortunately, HAGL lesions commonly go unrecognized. A missed HAGL during an index operation to treat anterior shoulder instability may lead to persistent instability. Currently, there are no large studi...
