Anterior glenohumeral instability.
Anterior glenohumeral instability is an important cause of shoulder disability in athletes. Recurrent glenohumeral instability can seriously impair the athlete's performance. Since the surgical repair of recurrent instability may result in a loss of flexibility, particularly in the thrower and gymnast, the physician must optimize both joint stability and joint flexibility.
