may exceed 26%. We systematically reviewed risk factors which predispose this population …

Objective To assess the evidence for risk factors and prevention measures for shoulder
injuries in overhead sports. Design Systematic review with best-evidence synthesis. Data …

Background: The epidemiology of traumatic shoulder dislocations is poorly understood. The
aim of the current study was to determine the incidence of shoulder dislocations presenting …

Background: There is a lack of high-quality population-based literature describing the
epidemiology of primary anterior shoulder dislocation. Purpose: To (1) calculate the …

Background: For athletes, a return to preinjury activity levels with minimal time away is a
metric indicative of successful recovery. The knowledge of this metric would be helpful for …

Background: There is no consensus on the optimal method of stabilization (arthroscopic or
open) in collision athletes with anterior shoulder instability. Purpose: To examine the effect …

Joint instability creates a clinical and economic burden in the health care system. Injuries
and disorders that directly damage the joint structure or lead to joint instability are highly …

Purpose To perform a meta-analysis of the current evidence in the literature comparing
arthroscopic Bankart repair versus conservative management for first-time anterior shoulder …

Background: There is no consensus on the optimal treatment of in-season athletes with
anterior shoulder instability, and limited data are available to guide return to play. Purpose …

Background: Relative to dislocations, glenohumeral subluxation events have received little
attention in the literature, despite a high incidence in young athletes. The pathoanatomy of …
