Hill Sachs lesions- what does it tell us?

Whether a patient has acute shoulder pain or long standing shoulder pain, if they have had an image, this can be helpful in identifying whether trauma may be a contributing factor to your patient's presentation. A shoulder X-ray can pick up a Hill Sachs lesion- and indentation in the glenoid- what does this mean? How might this influence how you assess the acute shoulder or what you may recommend for going forward for chronic shoulder pain? For more help with assessing and treating shoulders, check out our hybrid Jeremy Lewis course in Toronto or Calgary this Fall. This should help your shoulder patients Monday morning!
