Hill-Sachs lesion (Harold Arthur Hill, Maurice David Sachs)
Associated persons:
Harold Arthur Hill
Maurice David Sachs
Description:
An irregularity seen in the head of the humerus following dislocation of the shoulder. It is the association of anterior dislocation of the glenohumeral joint with compression fracture of the posterolateral aspect of the humeral head. This type of injury is caused by impaction of the humerus against the anterior rim of the glenoid cavity.
