Multidirectional Shoulder Instability: Treatment

BACKGROUND The treatment of multidirectional instability of the shoulder is complex. The surgeon should have a clear understanding of the role of hiperlaxity, anatomical variations, muscle misbalance and possible traumatic incidents in each patient. METHODS A review of the relevant literature was performed including indexed journals in English and Spanish. The review was focused in both surgi...

Arthroscopic shoulder stabilization has become the standard of care in the surgical management of glenohumeral instability. However, the management of the unstable shoulder associated w...
