Abstract

Humeral head defects are frequent in case of chronic shoulder anterior or posterior instability. Depending on the characteristics of the lesion (size, position, depth), it can be engaging and lead to recurrent dislocation. The management of engaging Hill-Sachs lesion remains controversial, but in some cases, a specific treatment is indicated and has to be chosen among various procedures. The literature reports pretty good results when the appropriate procedure is elected.
