Popis: Objectives: Determining the amount of glenoid bone loss in patients following anterior glenohumeral instability events is critical to guiding appropriate treatment. One of the challenges in managing shoulder instability in young athletes is the absence of clear data showing the impact of each event. The purpose of this study was to prospectively determine the amount of bone loss associated with a single instability event, in the setting of both first-time and recurrent instability. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of 714 athletes followed for four years. Baseline assessment included a subjective history of shoulder instability. Bilateral shoulder MRIs were obtained in all participants with and without a history of previous shoulder instability. The cohort was prospectively followed during the study period and those who sustained an anterior glenohumeral instability event were identified. A post-injury MRI was obtained and compared to the screening MRI. Glenoid width was measured for each patient’s pre- and post-injury MRI. The projected total glenoid bone loss was calculated and compared for patients with a prior history of shoulder instability. Results: Of the 714 athletes that were prospectively followed during the four-year period, 23 shoulders in 22 subjects sustained a first-time anterior instability event (5 dislocations, 18 subluxations), and six subjects with a previous history of instability sustained a recurrent anterior instability event (1 dislocation, 5 subluxations). On average, there was statistically significant glenoid bone loss (1.84 ± 1.47 mm) following a single instability event (p20% glenoid bone loss. Conclusion: Glenoid bone loss of 6.8% was observed after a first-time anterior instability event. In the setting of recurrent instability, the total calculated glenoid bone loss was 22.8% with a high prevalence of bony Bankart lesions (5/6). The findings of this study support early stabilization of young, active subjects following a first-time anterior glenohumeral instability event. Figure 2.
