Secondary Arthropathy Due to Anterior Glenohumeral Instability and Analysis of Surgical Techniques: Does Any of Them Influence its Onset and Progression? State of The Art

Abstract

The primary objective of this review is to describe how the different surgical techniques available for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability influence the development of post-glenohumeral dislocation arthropathy (GHDA), a condition similar to osteoarthritis that can develop, particularly in patients with recurrent episodes.

In early stages, this condition does not cause major functional limitations, but in more advanced stages, it can significantly alter our patients' activities.

Post-instability surgery aims to restore stability and prevent progression to GHDA.

Despite the diversity of surgical approaches to treat anterior shoulder instability, the literature does not show significant differences in the progression towards arthropathy, emphasizing the relevance of addressing specific risk factors addressing specific risk factors and choosing a procedure according to our patient's needs.
