ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Posterior shoulder instability is an uncommon but important cause of shoulder dysfunction and pain which may occur as the result of seizure, high energy trauma, or repetitive stress related to occupational or sport-specific activities. This current review details the imaging approach to the patient with posterior shoulder instability and describes commonly associated soft tissue and bony pathologies identified by radiographs, CT, and MR imaging. RECENT FINDINGS:
Advances in MR imaging technology and techniques allow for more accurate evaluation of bone and soft tissue pathology associated with posterior shoulder instability while sparing patients exposure to radiation. Imaging can contribute significantly to the clinical management of patients with posterior shoulder instability by demonstrating the extent of associated injuries and identifying predisposing anatomic conditions. Radiologic evaluation should be guided by clinical history and physical examination, beginning with radiographs followed by CT and/or MRI for assessment of osseous and soft tissue pathology. Synthesis of a patient's clinical history, physical exam findings, and radiologic examinations should guide clinical management.
