Advanced Imaging of Glenohumeral Instability: It May Be Less Complicated than It Seems
Glenohumeral joint instability is usually an intimidating topic for most radiologists due to both the complexity of related anatomical and biomechanical considerations and the increasing number of classifications and acronyms reported in the literature in association with this condition.

description | Glenohumeral joint instability is usually an intimidating topic for most radiologists due to both the complexity of related anatomical and biomechanical considerations and the increasing number of classifications and acronyms reported in the literature in association with this condition. In this short review, we aim to demystify glenohumeral instability by first focusing on the relevant anatomy and pathophysiology. Second, we will review what the important imaging findings are and how to describe them for the clinician in the most relevant yet simple way. The role of the radiologist in assessing glenohumeral instability lesions is to properly describe the stabilizing structures involved (bone, soft-tissue stabilizers, and their periosteal insertion) to localize them and to attempt to characterize them as acute or chronic. Impaction fractures on the glenoid and humeral sides are important to specify, locate, and quantify. In particular, the description of soft-tissue stabilizers should include the status of the periosteal insertion of the capsulo-labro-ligamentous complex. Finally, any associated cartilaginous or rotator cuff tendon lesion should be reported to the clinician. |
