This is the clinical evidence summary written for health professionals. It is technical, and it lists the research this page was built from. You do not need to read it to understand your treatment or to make a decision about it.

Overview¶

• Coracoid morphology differs significantly in patients undergoing posterior shoulder stabilization compared to patients undergoing surgery for anterior instability or a comparison cohort [1].
• NHL team physicians strongly favor nonoperative management in-season for initial posterior instability events of the shoulder [2].
• Contemporary studies show comparable instability and functional outcomes between arthroscopic and open Bankart repair approaches, whereas historical differences were driven primarily by earlier studies [3].
• Rates of recurrent anterior shoulder instability were high following isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair for on-track Hill-Sachs lesions with <20% glenoid bone loss [4].
• High rates of recurrent anterior shoulder instability following isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair for on-track Hill-Sachs lesions with <20% glenoid bone loss were associated with inferior PROs at mean 10-year follow-up [4].
• There is no difference in outcomes for posterior shoulder instability surgery in patients with a normal vs. pathological radiologist reported magnetic resonance arthrogram study [5].
• A thorough clinical exam is the most important factor when determining indication for shoulder instability surgery [5].
• Open capsular shift with Achilles allograft augmentation demonstrated low rates of recurrent instability and improved clinical outcomes in patients with multidirectional shoulder instability, including those with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome [6].
• Reverse shoulder arthroplasty and glenohumeral arthrodesis are viable options in treating end-stage recurrent shoulder instability [7].
• Arthroscopic repair of posterior humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament in recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations typically results in favorable clinical outcomes [9].
• The likelihood of returning to sports remains uncertain following arthroscopic repair of posterior humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament in recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations [9].
• The modified Kouvalchouk procedure provides good results in the stabilization of recurrent posterior unstable shoulders in traumatic cases and patients without previous surgery [10].
• The modified Kouvalchouk procedure offers the advantage of local harvesting of a bone block and a potential sling effect [10].
• Spin is highly prevalent in abstracts of systematic reviews and meta-analyses investigating free bone block procedures for glenohumeral instability [11].

Anatomy & Pathophysiology¶

• Labral morphology does not compensate for reduced bony glenoid concavity in clinically stable shoulders [17].
• The labrum contributes significantly to joint depth and creates a more congruent joint by minimizing differences between humerus and glenoid radius of curvature (ROC) [21].
• Healthy young adults exhibit deeper, thicker, and taller glenoid labrum morphology at the 12 o'clock position [21].
• Bilateral posterior shoulder dislocations with reverse Hill-Sachs lesions are uncommon and prone to misdiagnosis [12].
• Traumatic posterior shoulder dislocation can occur in association with a posterior acromion fracture [8].
• Posterior humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) can be present in recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations [9].
• Acute anterior shoulder dislocation carries a risk of subsequent rotator cuff tear (RCT), for which risk prediction models exist [22].

Classification¶

• Recurrent anterior shoulder instability following isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair for on-track Hill-Sachs lesions with <20% glenoid bone loss was associated with inferior patient-reported outcomes at mean 10-year follow-up [4].

• The modified Kouvalchouk procedure provides good results in stabilizing recurrent posterior unstable shoulders in traumatic cases and patients without previous surgery [10].
• Younger surgeons are more likely to incorporate the glenoid track concept into their decision-making for first-time anterior shoulder dislocation compared to older counterparts [13].
• The Instability Severity Index Score and the Hill-Sachs interval-to-glenoid track ratio composite score showed good predictive performance for recurrence after arthroscopic Bankart repair [14].
