Abstract:
Recurrent anterior shoulder instability is a common problem we have to deal with in clinic. With the progress in shoulder and elbow surgery, there have appeared many new concepts about the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of this disease. About 2 decades ago, people realized the important role of glenohumeral ligaments. Now we believe that the stability of the glenohumeral joint relies heavily on the congruent articulating surfaces and surrounding soft tissues that act as static and dynamic stabilizers. Many new methods, such as MRI, physical examination under anesthesia and arthroscopy, can help us diagnose the disease accurately. Moreover, substantial progress has been made in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability. Open Bankart repair has become the golden standard for the treatment. With the advance of techniques, however, arthroscopic stabilization of anterior shoulder instability can now achieve good results comparable with those of open surgery.
