Hill-Sachs Lesion

SAN FRANCISCO — Bankart repair with remplissage reduces recurrent instability risk in patients with on-track Hill-Sachs shoulder lesions, according to results presented here.

Anterior shoulder instability is a common shoulder pathology, occurring in 1% to 2% of the general population. This instability is caused by injuries to the labrum or capsuloligamentous structures, which normally stabilize the joint.

WAILEA, Hawaii — Young, active athletes with recurrent shoulder instability and bone loss may benefit from undergoing an arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage, according to a presenter here.

WASHINGTON — Results presented here showed that an inferior sagittal position of a Hill-Sachs lesion may be associated with increased failure risk of primary arthroscopic Bankart repair.

LAS VEGAS — In this video, Phob Ganokroj, MD, of Bangkok, discusses a study done at The Steadman Philippon Research Institute in which talus osteochondral allografts converted off-track Hill-Sachs lesions to on-track lesions.

Younger age, Hill-Sachs lesions on the MRI and degree of soft tissue injury may predict the failure of nonoperative anterior glenohumeral instability treatment, according to an orthopedic surgery resident at the Mayo Clinic - Rochester.
