Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Anterior shoulder instability presents complex challenges, including acute dislocation, recurrent instability, and pain in throwing athletes.
  • Controversies exist regarding the optimal management and the role of arthroscopy versus open surgical techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current controversies and management strategies for anterior shoulder instability.
  • To outline treatment approaches for acute dislocations, recurrent instability, and the throwing athlete's shoulder.
  • To evaluate the role and limitations of arthroscopy in diagnosing and treating anterior shoulder instability.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature and clinical scenarios related to anterior shoulder instability.
  • Description of treatment protocols for acute dislocations, including rest and rehabilitation.
  • Explanation of surgical indications, soft-tissue reconstruction techniques, and postoperative care for recurrent instability.

Main Results:

  • Initial management of acute dislocation involves rest followed by rehabilitation.
  • Recurrent instability requires careful diagnosis, with surgical options and rehabilitation detailed.
  • Strengthening of rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers is key for throwing athletes; surgery is reserved for non-responders.
  • Arthroscopy is useful for diagnosis, but therapeutic use requires experienced hands due to higher failure rates compared to open surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Open anterior stabilization is generally preferred over arthroscopic techniques.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management of shoulder instability.
  • Rehabilitation plays a vital role in recovery for both acute and recurrent shoulder instability.
