Recurrent posterior shoulder subluxation can be treated nonoperatively with strengthening exercises. Surgery is reserved for persistent cases unresponsive to conservative therapy for at least six months.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Posterior shoulder instability is a condition affecting the shoulder joint.
  • Understanding the anatomical structures and resulting pathophysiology is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
  • Recurrent posterior shoulder subluxation can significantly impact an individual's quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the anatomic restraints of posterior shoulder instability.
  • To describe the pathophysiology associated with posterior shoulder instability.
  • To outline diagnostic and treatment strategies for posterior shoulder instability.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anatomical literature pertaining to the posterior shoulder.
  • Analysis of pathophysiological mechanisms leading to posterior instability.

  • Evaluation of nonoperative and surgical treatment outcomes for posterior shoulder subluxation.

    • Main Results:

    • Anatomical knowledge aids in diagnosing and planning treatment for posterior shoulder instability.
    • Nonoperative management, including comprehensive shoulder strengthening, is often successful for recurrent posterior shoulder subluxation.
    • Surgical intervention is typically considered for patients with persistent symptoms after a minimum of six months of conservative therapy.

    Conclusions:

    • A thorough understanding of posterior shoulder anatomy and pathophysiology is essential for effective clinical management.
    • Nonoperative treatment, focusing on strengthening, is the primary approach for recurrent posterior shoulder subluxation.
    • Surgical treatment is reserved for refractory cases of posterior instability after failure of conservative management.
