Recurrent Anterior Glenohumeral Joint Instability

Younger age, Hill-Sachs lesions on the MRI and degree of soft tissue injury may predict the failure of nonoperative anterior glenohumeral instability treatment, according to an orthopedic surgery resident at the Mayo Clinic - Rochester.

The number of preoperative episodes of dislocation did not influence postoperative instability rates or recurrence rates after a Latarjet procedure, according to a retrospective study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine.
