Abstract

Glenohumeral instability has been described by Matsen et al. [1] as “a clinical condition in which unwanted translation of the head on the glenoid compromises the comfort and function of the shoulder.” It can be the result of traumatic events causing structural damage to a previously intact and stable shoulder, called “traumatic instability,” or it can be due to an inherent deficiency of passive and active shoulder stabilizers, thus occurring in the absence of relevant traumas, called “atraumatic instability.”
