Official Title: Does Shoulder Stabilizations Stabilize Shoulders?
Brief Summary:
Background: There is no evidence that shoulder stabilization effectively corrects the glenohumeral translation in unstable shoulders, explaining residual apprehension in certain patients. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of surgical stabilization on glenohumeral translation.
Methods: Anteroposterior and superoinferior translations were assessed in patients, before and after shoulder stabilization, through a dedicated patient-specific measurement technique based on optical motion capture and computed tomography.
