Imaging shoulder instability

The glenohumeral joint is a synovial, ball-in-socket joint. It has the greatest range of motion of all joints in the human body, making it vulnerable to injury and instability. This can be classified by aetiology into traumatic versus atraumatic, or according to direction into unidirectional versus multidirectional instability. Unidirectional instability is usually secondary to trauma […]
