    Figure 1.

    Illustration demonstrating the mechanism of shoulder dislocation. The patient is in the wind tunnel with his arms abducted and externally rotated, with the wind pushing his arms into further external rotation. When he reached for the side of the wind tunnel while attempting to exit, his left arm was forced into further external rotation, causing an anterior dislocation of the left shoulder.

    Figure 2.

    Computed tomography scan of the left shoulder, axial cross-sectional image, demonstrates mild compression, or Bankart lesion, of the anterior glenoid fossa over a 1.1-cm area (upper arrows, anterior) and a Hill-Sachs lesion measuring 1.4 cm × 0.3 cm on the humeral head (lower arrows, posterior).

  • Figure 3.
    Figure 3.

    Computed tomography scan of the left shoulder, sagittal cross-sectional image, shows the Hill-Sachs lesion on the posterior humeral head (arrow).

  • Figure 4.
    Figure 4.

    Three-dimensional reconstruction of the left shoulder shows the Hill-Sachs lesion on the posterior humeral head (arrow).

  • Figure 5.
    Figure 5.

    Arthroscopic image within the shoulder joint shows the humeral head dislocating while in 30° of forward flexion and neutral rotation.

  • Figure 6.
    Figure 6.

    Arthroscopic image within the shoulder joint shows the humeral head perched and a large Hill-Sachs lesion. A percutaneous suture passer is placing suture in the Hill-Sachs lesion.
