BIOMECHANICAL EFFECTS OF FAILURE MODES IN REPEATED ANTERIOR INFERIOR GLENOHUMERAL JOINT DISLOCATIONS

摘要

Accurate and precise quantification of the failure modes and repair methods for anterior inferior glenohumeral joint dislocations are very important for effective surgical treatment of the shoulder. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively assess the effects of failure modes and repair strength by measuring the differences in glenohumeral translation and joint forces prior to and following repeated anterior shoulder dislocation and repair.
