Abstract The glenohumeral joint is a multi-axial spheroidal joint that provides the largest range of motion among all diarthrodial joints but also has the greatest propensity for instability. Compared with other joints (e.g., hip), the bony stabilization of the glenohumeral joint is insufficient. Several factors have been found to affect recurrence rates including age, type of sports, hyperlaxity, glenoid ad humeral bone loss. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of arthroscopic assisted reconstruction of the glenoid in management of recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability with glenoid defect > 20%. |
