Multidirectional instability (MDI) of the shoulder is a condition where the dislocation occurs in more than one direction with minimal or no causative trauma. Its pathoanatomy is complex and characterized by a redundant capsule, resulting in increased glenohumeral joint volume. The fact that several further factors may contribute to symptom onset complicates the diagnosis and hampers the identification of a therapeutic approach suitable for all cases. There is general agreement that the initial treatment should be conservative and that surgery should be reserved for patients who have not responded to an ad hoc rehabilitation program. We review the biomechanics, clinical presentation, and treatment strategies of shoulder MDI.

Abstract

Multidirectional instability (MDI) of the shoulder is a condition where the dislocation occurs in more than one direction with minimal or no causative trauma. Its pathoanatomy is complex and characterized by a redundant capsule, resulting in increased glenohumeral joint volume. The fact that several further factors may contribute to symptom onset complicates the diagnosis and hampers the identification of a therapeutic approach suitable for all cases. There is general agreement that the initial treatment should be conservative and that surgery should be reserved for patients who have not responded to an ad hoc rehabilitation program. We review the biomechanics, clinical presentation, and treatment strategies of shoulder MDI.
