Abstract

The management of shoulder instability in children and adolescents is a challenging field of orthopaedics. There are several complicating factors which originate from the variable underlying cause that is often a unique combination of traumatic factors, ligamentous laxity, and the pattern of muscle contractility. As the cause is often multifactorial, this makes interpretation of the literature difficult as nomenclature is variable. The purpose of this review is to shed light on the nuances of paediatric and adolescent shoulder instability.
