Lateral Instability of the Ankle Joint

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1992
Acute lateral ankle ligament ruptures are successfully treated nonoperatively with physiotherapy, peroneal strengthening, and coordination training. About 10-20% of patients may develop functional instability despite adequate nonoperative treatment.

Rehabilitation of Shoulder Joint Instabilities

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1987
The overall goal of the rehabilitation period is a return to full range of motion and a strengthening of the muscles that have a role in protecting the shoulder from injury. Rehabilitation is accomplished gradually and is performed initially in a limited range that excludes the terminal 30 degrees at either end.

Scapular Instability: The Scapulothoracic Joint

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2000
Scapular instability may be the result of a variety of casues of which the clinician should be made aware. Work-up should include an initial radiographic evaluation and may require more in-depth investigation. Treatment should be prescribed dependent on the underlying diagnosis. In most cases, instability about the scapula can be treated with a careful

Distal radioulnar joint instability

Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation, 2017
Distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability is a rare but disabling problem. Surgical treatment remains a challenge. The advent of arthroscopic techniques has helped to rebuild the triangular fibrocartilaginous complex (TFCC), especially its deep part. However, isolated TFCC damage is not responsible for instability.

Traumatic instability of the proximal tibiofibular joint

Injury, 1981
Proximal tibiofibular instability, seems to be an infrequently diagnosed abnormality, which occurs in isolation or in combination with fractures of the leg and ankle. Four types of instability are distinguished: subluxation, anterolateral dislocation, posteromedial dislocation and superior dislocation.

Acromioclavicular Joint Instability

2013
Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are common and account for about 12 % of all shoulder injuries in clinical practice. This number increases to almost 50 % in athletes participating in contact sports. The true prevalence might even be underestimated since many individuals with low-grade (type I or II) injuries may not seek medical attention.

Glenohumeral Joint Instability

2019
Shoulder instability encompasses a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations that range from painful hyperlaxity to chronic locked shoulder dislocations. Correct diagnosis is critical to establish an effective treatment strategy. The biomechanics, clinical presentation, and management of shoulder instability are discussed and reviewed.

Imaging Finger Joint Instability with Ultrasound

Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology, 2013
Closed injuries affecting the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints and their stabilizers in the thumb and fingers occur very commonly in athletes, possibly leading to finger joint instability and long-standing or permanent disability. This article reviews the spectrum of joint injuries of the thumb and fingers that are common in the athletic ...

Radioulnar Joint Fusion for Distal Radioulnar Joint Instability

Hand Clinics, 1991
Each one of this small group of patients illustrates a rare indication for the radioulnar joint fusion procedure in distal radioulnar joint instability. The case histories tell of a last ditch effort to salvage function in an extremity crippled by painful radioulnar instability after excision of the distal ulna.

Distal Radioulnar Joint Instability

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma
Summary: The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is vital to the stability and function of the wrist and forearm. The osseous morphology is variable and provides little stability. A complex of confluent soft tissues is the primary stabilizer; however, the contribution of each component has yet to be elucidated.
