Glenoid and rotator interval dimension in patients older than 40 years after traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation

Introduction The number of patients above 40 years suffering an anterior shoulder dislocation for the first time has recently increased. This study investigated the role of glenoid version, inclination and rotator interval dimension in patients older than 40 years with an anterior shoulder dislocation. We hypothesize that the rotator interval plays a more important role than the osseus alignment in older patients.
