Shoulder instability in ice hockey players: incidence, mechanism, and MRI findings.
Ice hockey is by definition a contact sport, making players at high levels prone to traumatic injuries. The most common cause of injury is from body checking or player contact. 1 A high incidence of concomitant Bankart and significant Hill-Sachs lesions was seen in these professional athletes. These results suggest that a careful assessment and appropriate management of humeral bone loss may be crucial in order to obtain successful outcomes in this challenging group of athletes.
