Multicenter StudyPosttraumatic anterior-inferior instability of the shoulder: arthroscopic findings and clinical correlations.
The main purpose of our study was to evaluate intra-articular lesions in glenohumeral-instability with arthroscopy and correlate them with clinical findings as well as history of instability. ⋯ Thus we conclude that early surgical stabilization after posttraumatic anterior-inferior shoulder dislocation is necessary to prevent increasing damage within the shoulder joint.
