This chapter delves into the passive and dynamic stabilizers of the glenohumeral (GH) joint, addressing various forms of instability including anterior, posterior, and multidirectional. It highlights injury mechanisms, pain characteristics, and diagnostic tests such as the Apprehension and Relocation tests, as well as descriptions of significant conditions like Bankart and Hill-Sachs lesions. Furthermore, it explores the Sulcus Sign for identifying inferior GH laxity, differentiating it from the AC Traction Test, offering comprehensive insights into GH joint complexities.

Question #1 • Describe the passive and dynamic stabilizers of the GH joint
Glenohumeral Instability • Passive stabilizers • GH ligaments (superior, middle, inferior) • Joint capsule • Coracohumeral ligament • Dynamic stabilizers • Rotator cuff muscles • Other GH musculature
Question #2 • Describe the mechanism of injury for: • Anterior instability • Posterior instability • Multidirectional instability
Mechanism of Injury • Anterior instability • Repetitive microtrauma • External rotation and 900 abduction • Posterior instability • Repetitive microtrauma • Longitudinal force on humerus, internal rotation, GH flexion 900, horizontal adduction • Multidirectional instability • Typically External rotation and 900 abduction
Question #3 • Describe the pain characteristics associated with: • Anterior instability • Posterior instability • Multidirectional instability
Pain Characteristics • Anterior instability • ADLs • “loose”; abduction w/external rotation • Posterior instability • ADLs • “unstable”; brought across body • Multidirectional instability • ADLs • “loose”; extremes of rotation motions
Question #4 • Describe a Bankart lesion
Bankart Lesion • GH ligament avulsed along with a portion of the labrum • Difficult to identify clinically • Pain, crepitus as humeral head moves against anterior labrum during GH glide testing, shift and load testing, or external rotation of humerus
Question #5 • Describe the Apprehension test for anterior instability • Describe the Relocation test for anterior instability
Question #6 • Describe a Hill-Sachs Lesion and reverse Hill-Sachs Lesion
Hill-Sachs Lesion • Small defect – posterior humeral head’s articular cartilage • Caused by impact of humeral head on glenoid fossa as humerus attempts to relocate after anterior dislocation • Used as diagnostic tool • Rarely symptomatic; may lead to early degeneration of GH joint
Question #7 • Describe the Posterior Apprehension Test for GH Laxity • Describe the Test for Posterior Instability in the plane of the Scapula
Question #8 • Describe the Sulcus Sign for Inferior GH Laxity • What differentiates this test from the AC Traction Test?
