2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Posterior Shoulder Instability (video)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video summarises the current approach to treating posterior shoulder instability. Posterior shoulder instability is not as rare as previously thought, particularly in young active patients. Nonoperative treatment is successful in approximately half of patients, with certain imaging and examination findings predicting the need for surgery. Arthroscopic surgery is performed with careful attention to anatomy and the presence of unique lesions such as Hagel’s, GLAD lesions, and bony Bankarts. In cases of bone loss, arthroscopic bone augmentation techniques can be used. Rehabilitation protocols include postoperative sling use, strength training, and gradually increasing activity. Overall, good outcomes can be expected in most patients.
