Biomechanics of complex shoulder instability

Clin Sports Med. 2013 Oct;32(4):625-36. doi: 10.1016/j.csm.2013.07.002.

Abstract

Identification and treatment of the osseous lesions associated with complex shoulder instability remains challenging. Further biomechanical testing is required to delineate critical defect values and determine which treatments provide improved glenohumeral joint stability for the various defect sizes, while minimizing the associated complications.

Keywords: Glenoid defect; Hill-Sachs; Humeral head defect; Latarjet; Remplissage; Shoulder instability.
