Abstract:
Shoulder instability includes a vast spectrum of different manifestations ranging from painful hyperlaxity to chronic locked shoulder dislocations. A correct diagnosis and classification is essential to establish an adequate treatment strategy. The correct use of different clinical tests and signs in combination with the corresponding imaging diagnostics allows an explicit classification and therefore the correct choice of treatment regimes in the majority of cases.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
