Abstract

More frequent in young adults with a clear male predominance, which can lead to a socio-professional and sporting handicap. The diagnosis of glenohumeral instability is most often clinical. Standard radiography is sufficient for bone assessment. Arthroscanner and arthro-irm are currently the most effective techniques for confirming the diagnosis, assessing the extent and severity of the lesions, and searching for associated lesions. The treatment is surgical, the LATARJET operation remains the gold standard of treatment of instability of the shoulder. It allows the recovery of joint mobility as well as satisfactory joint stability.
