Glenohumeral instability refers to a condition where the shoulder joint is not stable, leading to a feeling of looseness or instability. This condition can result from various factors, including trauma, overuse, or congenital issues. Symptoms may include a sensation of the shoulder giving way, pain, and a clicking or popping sound during movement. Glenohumeral instability can be classified into several types, including anterior, posterior, and combined instability, depending on the direction of the instability.

Diagnosis of glenohumeral instability typically involves a physical examination and imaging studies such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans. Treatment options vary and may include non-surgical interventions such as physical therapy, bracing, or corticosteroid injections. In more severe cases, surgical procedures may be necessary to repair or reconstruct the shoulder joint.

Prevention strategies include maintaining proper shoulder mechanics, avoiding activities that exacerbate symptoms, and addressing any underlying conditions that may contribute to instability. Glenohumeral instability can significantly impact an individual's quality of life, affecting activities of daily living and sports participation. Early intervention and appropriate management are crucial for optimal outcomes.
