Abstract

We report a case of a 20-year-old man presenting to our pediatric emergency department with an anterior shoulder dislocation. Point-of-care ultrasound demonstrated a Hill-Sachs deformity. The potential role of ultrasound and the clinical importance of identifying patients with Hill-Sachs deformities are discussed.
