Patients with a primary anterior glenohumeral dislocation experience lower rates of recurrent instability with arthroscopic stabilization than with immobilization in external rotation, according to a new study.

“Arthroscopic stabilization has been established as a superior treatment option for primary glenohumeral instability when compared with immobilization in internal rotation. However, immobilization in external rotation has recently gained interest as a viable nonoperative treatment option for patients with shoulder instability,” wrote researchers.
