title: Magnetic resonance imaging of glenohumeral instability.
abstract: Glenohumeral instability refers to subluxation or dislocation of the glenohumeral joint. This painful disorder is particularly common in the athletic population, and the individual with instability may present with a variety of clinical complaints. This paper addresses current theories regarding the pathophysiology of glenohumeral instability and illustrates magnetic resonance findings that can assist in diagnosis and treatment planning.
