Magnetic resonance imaging of glenohumeral instability.
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.
