Abstract

Hill-Sachs lesions (HSLs) can be present after a primary shoulder dislocation and may go unrecognized; this can alter the necessary bony constraint within the glenohumeral joint. To deal with HSLs, remplissage is a safe procedure with low complication rates, low recurrent instability rates, and good patient outcome scores compared with many of the other alternative techniques. On the other hand, a great number of techniques have been described to treat reverse Hill-Sachs lesions (RHSLs). In this article, we propose a method of treatment for combined simultaneous HSL and RHSL shoulder injuries. However, consensus on a specific treatment is yet to be established. We present an arthroscopic treatment guideline for patients with shoulder instability due to anterior and posterior labral lesions, HSL, and RHSL.
