Abstract

This article describes multidirectional shoulder instability. This lesion is not rare and is easily overlooked. MDI is often caused by repeated minor injuries in athletic patients. The basic lesion in MDI is an enlarged joint volume. The diagnosis is based on the clinical picture. The sulcus sign is pathognomonic. Conservative treatment is the treatment of first choice. If complaints persist after one year of conservative treatment, a capsular shift as described by Neer is recommended.
