Abstract

The glenohumeral joint is the most commonly dislocated joint in the body which can be attributed to its highly mobile articulation. Although glenohumeral instability can occur in any direction, anterior instability is by far the most common, which ranges from subtle increased laxity to recurrent dislocation. Traumatic injury is the most common cause of shoulder instability, accounting for approximately 95 % of anterior shoulder dislocations [1]. In the successful management of traumatic anterior shoulder instability, the importance of patient history and thorough clinical examination supplemented with the radiological workup cannot be overemphasized. As these issues are effectively elaborated in the previous chapters, in this chapter, we will discuss about the indications, techniques, complications, and results of surgical management of anterior shoulder instability without glenoid bone loss.
