Radiographic views in recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. Comparison of six methods for identification of typical lesions.
In a prospective study of 27 shoulders with recurrent anterior dislocation, we compared six radiographic views for demonstration of the Hill-Sachs defect and the Bankart lesion. The Hill-Sachs defect was most often identified by the Stryker notch view (25/27); it was best visualized and most easily recognized on the 45 degrees craniocaudal view (22/27). This view also had the highest diagnostic yield for demonstrating the Bankart lesion.
