Acute traumatic posterior glenohumeral dislocations are rare; they are typically caused by high-velocity trauma, epileptic seizures, or electrocution1,2. Anterior impression fractures of the humeral head (reverse Hill-Sachs defect) occur in over 80% of individuals following a posterior dislocation of the shoulder3. The size of reverse Hill-Sachs defects varies and has been reported to be as large as 55% of the cartilage surface4. Defects affecting less than 10% of the articular surface can be treated conservatively with closed reduction, and immobilization may produce excellent stability with a low risk for redislocation1. However, traditional sling immobilization in internal rotation puts the shoulder at risk to redislocate. Therefore, surgical treatment is recommended in defects that affect between 10% and 20% of the articular surface; they can be treated either with an arthroscopic approach, open remplissage, bone-grafting, or prosthetic replacement5. Compared with traditional posterior Hill-Sachs defects that occur with anterior dislocations, the extent of osseous and cartilaginous destruction of the anterior humeral head is usually more extensive in reverse Hill-Sachs defects6. Therefore, to stabilize the glenohumeral joint and avoid potential progressive cartilage destruction, which may lead to early osteoarthritis, reverse Hill-Sachs defects affecting more than 20% of the articular surface are nearly always treated surgically7. Several techniques have been described, including subscapularis transfer with or without the lesser tuberosity into the humeral head defect, disimpaction and bone-grafting, allograft reconstruction of the humeral articular surface, and arthroplasty8. If the joint becomes unstable, repair of the posterior capsulolabral structures can be performed to restore stability, as described for treatment of symptomatic posterior subluxation9,10. Large defects of greater than 40% of the articular surface typically require initial arthroplasty because of the increased risk of osteoarthritis, … |
