Abstract

In this chapter, historical landmarks, characteristics, pathophysiology, site, and associated soft tissue complications of anterior, posterior, and inferior instability are reviewed. This chapter includes a brief description of the rare and often missed locked posterior dislocation, which may be confused with a frozen shoulder. The difference between asymptomatic hypermobility and multidirectional instability, which is associated with chronic shoulder pain, is highlighted. Examples of connective tissue disorders that present as the generalized joint hypermobility are provided. The pertinent clinical presentation and management of different types of instability are discussed.
