BACKGROUND It is estimated that approximately 5% of glenohumeral instabilities are posterior. There are a number of controversies regarding therapeutic approaches for these patients. METHODS We analyse the main surgery alternatives for the treatment of the posterior shoulder instability. We did a research of the publications related with posterior glenohumeral instability. RESULTS There are...

Posterior shoulder instability is a rare clinical condition that encompasses different degrees of severity including various possible pathologies involving the labrum, capsule, bony lesions, and even locked posterior dislocation. When focusing on soft tissue involvement, the diagnosis of posterior instability may be difficult to make because frequently patients report vague symptoms not associa...

BACKGROUND There is a low incidence of posterior instability which is present in only 2% to 10% of all unstable shoulders. The posterior instable shoulder includes different manifestations like fixed dislocation, recurrent subluxation or dislocation. METHODS Research and online content related to posterior instability is reviewed. Natural history, clinical evaluation and imaging are described...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the risk factors for glenohumeral joint instability. We hypothesized that a prior history of instability would be a significant risk factor for subsequent injury. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study over a four-year period within a high-risk group of young athletes to address the research hypothesis. Subjects were freshmen entering the U.S. Militar...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of 6 weeks hopping exercises program on time to stabilization and perceived stability in athletes with chronic ankle instability Methods: twenty-eight basketball player with chronic ankle instability (mean ± SD age;22.67±2.88 years, mean ± SD weight; 80.47±8.48 kg, mean ± SD height; 186.82±3.09 cm) were participated in this...
