conclusions glenohumeral joint reduction with reconstruction of the humeral head seems to be possible even in a neglected locked posterior shoulder fracture-dislocation. if the depressed osteochondral fragment is still spheric, signs of the avascular necrosis are absent on ct, and mal:union: of the fragment has occurred, it is quite possible to reconstruct the head. although results of the case...

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 ...

We analyzed the results of eleven shoulders in ten patients who had a bone block procedure for recurrent posterior shoulder instability after extensive conservative treatment had failed. Five patients had posterior instability with additional laxity in another direction (UPI+), and five patients had unidirectional posterior instability without additional laxity (UPI-). After a median follow-up ...

CONTEXT Posterior shoulder instability has become more frequently recognized and treated as a unique subset of shoulder instability, especially in the military. Posterior shoulder pathology may be more difficult to accurately diagnose than its anterior counterpart, and commonly, patients present with complaints of pain rather than instability. "Posterior instability" may encompass both dislocat...

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...

introduction: functional ankle instability has described as a “feeling of giving way”. balance control deficit is one of the sensorimotor impairments observed in people with functional ankle instability that has been described to damage to the afferent receptors within the ligaments and joint capsule that affected during sprain. foot orthosis can improve balance control via enhanced sensory aff...

T he pathoanatomy of anterior shoulder dislocations has been well documented. Perthes described an anterior labral lesion as early as 1906, and Bankart wrote his classic article on recurrent anterior dislocations more than seventy years ago. Until recently, much less had been written about posterior shoulder instability; to our knowledge, the first case series was reported by Reeves in 1963. Re...
