Inestabilidad de hombro en adolescentes: Indicaciones para cirugía. Reporte de caso y estado del arte

Shoulder instability is a frequent condition in people involved in sport activities of high-physical demand. Due to their anatomical features, adolescents are at greater risk of recurrence after a first episode of shoulder dislocation. Male gender, age and participation in high-impact sport activities are the main risk factors for recurrence. We report the case of a cheerleader teenager with anterior shoulder instability with favorable evolution after open stabilization complemented by a review of the state of the art of the therapeutic approaches of recurrent shoulder instability in adolescents.
