title: Addressing the Hill-Sachs Lesion Humeral Head Bone Loss and Glenohumeral Instability.
abstract: Osseous injuries affecting the posterosuperolateral aspect of the humeral head, also known as the Hill-Sachs lesion, are common and can pose a difficult problem for the operating surgeon. Hill-Sachs lesions can lead to recurrent shoulder instability if not identified and addressed. This review will focus on osseous defects of the humeral head and address the pathoanatomy, diagnosis, indications, and surgical techniques for the treatment of these lesions.
