title: Glenohumeral instabilities and the role of magnetic resonance imaging techniques. The orthopedic surgeon's perspective.
abstract: Orthopedic surgeons often have different philosophies regarding the diagnosis and treatment of glenohumeral instability. Some surgeons will rely extensively on imaging studies to ascertain pathology relevant to a specific method of treatment; others will only use imaging in cases where the diagnosis is uncertain. This article reviews the concept of glenohumeral instability and its treatment.
