Posterior instability represents up to 10% of all cases of shoulder instability. In athletes, posterior instability can result from a single traumatic injury, repetitive microtrauma, or rarely, atraumatic instability. This review examines the anatomy, biomechanics, diagnosis, and management of posterior shoulder instability in athletes, with particular emphasis on surgical outcomes for both arthroscopic and open approaches.
