OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of lesions associated with traumatic anterior shoulder instability and the relationships between the prevalence of these lesions and the number of episodes and time since symptoms started. METHOD Fifty-seven patients aged 18 to 40 years, with traumatic anterior shoulder instability, more than one episode of shoulder dislocation and at least six months sinc...

Little research has been conducted evaluating surgical trends during the past 10 years and subsequent procedure risk factors for patients undergoing bone-blocking procedures for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability. The Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System database was queried between 2003 and 2014 to identify patients undergoing soft tissue or bone-blocking procedures f...

Background: Shoulder joint has the greatest range of motion so shoulder instability occurs between 10-30% total populations.Objective: The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of ultrasound therapy along with elastic band over conventional therapy in subjects with anterior shoulder instability. Study Design: Randomized clinical trials.Method: The study is randomized controlled stud...

A reduced retroversion angle of the humeral head may predispose to recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation and may also be a factor in persistent instability after soft-tissue repair. We performed rotational osteotomy of the proximal humerus in 20 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations (10 traumatic, 10 non-traumatic) and a decreased retroversion angle of the humeral head. The m...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the expression of the genes COL1A1, COL1A2, COL3A1 and COL5A1 in the glenohumeral capsule of patients with traumatic anterior instability of the shoulder. METHODS Samples from the glenohumeral capsule of 18 patients with traumatic anterior instability of the shoulder were evaluated. Male patients with a positive grip test and a Bankart lesion seen on magnetic resonance i...
