Abstract
Acute shoulder instability refers to acute loss of integrity of glenohumeral joint. Degree of displacement may vary from subtle subluxation to occult dislocation. Most of the acute shoulder instability cases are secondary to trauma. First-time acute shoulder instability requires immediate and appropriate first-line treatment and future step-by-step diagnostic algorithm to address associated capsulolabral damage. The aim of the treatment is to prevent a recurrence. Various open and arthroscopic procedures were described to restore glenohumeral joint function. This chapter explains management of acute setting of shoulder instability by means of diagnosis, initial treatment, appropriate imaging, decision-making process, and postoperative rehabilitation.
