SCOPE (Scapular Corrections for Posterior Escape) for posterior glenohumeral instability: technique of posterior acromial corrective osteotomy with optional glenoid corrective osteotomy

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Posterior instability is a complex entity that differs fundamentally from anterior instability4. Whereas anterior instability typically follows a distinct traumatic event resulting in an anterior dislocation, a traumatic posterior dislocation is rarely the presenting event in posterior instability4. Recurrent posterior instability is more commonly related to repetitive microtrauma28,30,36,37 with a wide spectrum of symptoms21, ranging from activity-related pain to constant pain4,38, subjective apprehension, and episodes of posterior subluxation of variable frequency, occasionally requiring reduction38.
