Maher J Bahu et al. Clin Sports Med. 2008 Oct.

Abstract

Multidirectional instability of the shoulder is a condition defined by symptoms of shoulder instability in more than one direction. Patients typically have generalized ligamentous laxity and may be involved in repetitive overhead activities. Initial treatment is with a physical therapy program. Patients who fail non-operative treatment are candidates for arthroscopic or open stabilization procedures.
