Thermal capsular shrinkage for shoulder instability
We present the shortand medium-term clinical results of thermal shrinkage in selected groups of patients with multidirectional or capsular stretch-type instability. We treated 56 patients (61 shoulders) by laser-assisted capsular shrinkage (LACS) and 34 patients (38 shoulders) by radiofrequency (RF) capsular shrinkage. The two groups were followed for mean periods of 40 months and 23 months, re...
متن کاملRehabilitation for shoulder instability.
Both structural and non-structural components can contribute to shoulder instability. Classification and therefore management must recognise these factors to achieve functional stability. This paper discusses a classification system proposing three types of shoulder instability recognising the structural and non-structural components and that a continuum exists between pathologies. Structural c...

Methods Data was collected from 26 patients (12 males, 12 right ankles, mean age 32.88 years) from November 2004 to March 2011. 20 patients were available for follow up. Preoperative MRI scans and stress radiographs were taken. The patients were all assessed using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) anklehindfoot scale, Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire, EuroQol and the V...
