title: Lesions in different types of anterior glenohumeral joint dislocation. An experimental study.
abstract: Three different kinds of anterior shoulder joint dislocation were studied in an experimental setup including 15 shoulder joint specimens. Lesion to the anterior-inferior part of the capsule was the most frequent finding in anterior dislocation. In anterior-superior dislocation lesions to the anterior-inferior part of the capsule and the posterior part of the cuff were equally prominent. Anterior-inferior dislocation was associated with lesions to all capsular structures including the glenohumeral ligament and both the anterior and posterior part of the cuff. From a clinical point of view, the study indicates that in some types of anterior dislocation a severe lesion of the posterior part of the capsule and cuff must also be considered.
