Abstract
Purpose of review: Anterior glenohumeral instability is a common injury among football players. The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of existing literature on the evaluation and management of anterior glenohumeral instability in football players.
Recent findings: The incidence and treatment of anterior glenohumeral instability varies by injury type, position, and time during the season. Shoulder instability represents a spectrum of pathologies. Important differences exist along this spectrum which affect treatment, rehabilitation, return to play, and outcomes. Current research demonstrates effective treatments and good return to play rates. There are currently no consensus guidelines for return to play after anterior glenohumeral instability for football. Successful RTP and future performance can be achieved with both non-operative and operative treatment.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to review the most significant recent developments in the field of musculoskeletal medicine. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by expert world-renowned authors, the journal aims to serve all those involved in the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of musculoskeletal-related conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as rehabilitation of the knee and hip, sports medicine, trauma, pediatrics, health policy, customization in arthroplasty, and rheumatology. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 20 diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
