Zur Bedeutung der Hill-Sachs-Läsion als präarthrotische Deformität

Abstract

Aim of the study: In the recent literature the development of secondary osteoarthritis that follows recurrent dislocations of the shoulder is seldom discussed although the incidence and the significance of the intra-articular cartilaginous and osteocartilaginous lesions caused by the dislocation as pathogenic factors is indisputable. For this reason, we defined the area and the incidence of the contact between the Hill-Sachs lesion (HSL) and the glenoid with the attempt to specify the relevance as an aetiological cause for the development of osteoarthritis. Method: We
