Abstract

Hypermobility of the shoulder is common, and a pre-requisiite for some sports. The hypermobile shoulder is at greater risk of instability than is the case for the normal population. Managing instability in the hypermobile patient is a complex problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Surgical options are available but should be only used once vigorous expert conservative measures have been undertaken, and is for the subspecialist only. Recurrnce of instability os an even more complex situation and the chapter discusses the investigation and appropriate management options.
