“…The incomplete recovery leads to muscle imbalance with strong internal rotators and weak external rotators, which results in an internal rotation contracture that is detrimental to glenohumeral joint development. 8,11,15,19,20,25 The constant position of internal rotation leads to early glenohumeral joint deformity by 6 months of age and advanced deformity by 2 years, which is characterized by increased glenoid retroversion and posterior humeral head subluxation. 1,3,7,11,14,16,21,24,25 Children with an established internal rotation contracture and glenohumeral joint deformity are unlikely to regain optimum shoulder function without intervention.…”
