introduction: assessing quality of life for patients with shoulder instability may be essential because of the negative impacts of the disease on patient’s life. the aim of the present study, therefore,  was  to  assess  the  internal  validity  and  consistency,  test-retest  reliability,  and convergent validity of the persian version of the oxford shoulder instability score (osis). material ...

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...

background:  the glenohumeral joint becomes dislocated more than any other major joint because it maintains a wide range of motion and its stability is inherently weak. the most common complication following acute initial shoulder dislocation is recurrent dislocation or chronic instability. imbalance of strength and range of motion in individuals with anterior dislocation can be a contributing ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate shoulder rotator strength and steadiness in athletes with anterior instability and superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) lesion. DESIGN Cross-sectional laboratory study. METHODS Athletes with anterior shoulder instability (instability group, n=10) and a SLAP lesion (SLAP group, n=10) were compared with healthy athletes matched by age, anthropometrics and sport ...

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can be a very useful tool in the evaluation of instability in the athlete's shoulder. Technical options of MR imaging, such as arthrography, higher power magnets, and shoulder positioning, have enhanced MR evaluation of the shoulder. This update discusses the application of new MR techniques to a variety of shoulder instability patterns, including anterior instab...

introduction professional sports injuries are usually all dealt with at one single operation to return the player to the sport after appropriate rehabilitation. we questioned the assumption that rotator cuff tears must be repaired concurrently with instability syndromes, and aimed to allow a professional rugby league player to achieve career goals by not correcting all pathology at one surgery....

Dislocation and instability of the shoulder joint are rare occurrences in childhood. Traumatic, infectious, congenital, and neuromuscular causes of pediatric recurrent shoulder dislocations are reported before. Central nervous system infection in infancy may be a reason for shoulder instability during childhood. This situation, which causes a disability for children, can be treated successfully...

Patients who present with global capsular laxity and glenohumeral instability frequently can be treated successfully with shoulder girdle musculature strengthening exercises and activity modification. When such injury is caused by a paralytic shoulder, a rehabilitation program may not be a viable treatment option. Presented in this article are 3 patients with global capsular laxity and glenohum...
