Fixation methods and implants in shoulder stabilization: A historical perspective.
Journal of Orthopaedics 2018 June
Background: Treatment for shoulder instability has changed significantly over the past decade from open procedures to arthroscopic procedures using a variety of different fixation methods and implants. The development of these implants has been highly influenced by the numerous complications that have arisen using early designs.
Methods: A review of the literature was performed to describe the history of shoulder stabilization.
Conclusion: As biomedical technology improves, we should continue to see changes to implant design and manufacturing. Having an understanding of the history and evolution of these implants will provide us with context in which to guide future implant design and clinical use. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of early shoulder stabilization techniques and implants to the modern implants being used today.
