Does Shoulder Stabilizations Stabilize Shoulders?

11 participantsStarted 2014-10

Plain-language summary

Background: There is no evidence that shoulder stabilization effectively corrects the glenohumeral translation in unstable shoulders, explaining residual apprehension in certain patients. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of surgical stabilization on glenohumeral translation. Methods: Anteroposterior and superoinferior translations were assessed in patients, before and after shoulder stabilization, through a dedicated patient-specific measurement technique based on optical motion capture and computed tomography.

Inclusion Criteria: * Anteroinferior shoulder stabilization Exclusion Criteria: * Incomplete documentation * Follow-up of less than twelve months * History of bilateral instability * Previous shoulder surgery * Contraindications for computed tomography * Non-traumatic onset * Hyperlaxity. The latter was defined as more than 85° of external rotation at the elbow against the waist{Coudane, 2000 #3124} or hyperabduction by more than 105°.{Gagey, 2001 #1915}
