Shoulder Dislocation: How To Tell If You Have A Hill-sachs Lesion

A shoulder dislocation occurs when the upper arm bone (humerus) comes out of its socket in the shoulder joint. This can happen due to a sudden injury or trauma. Dislocations often cause severe pain, swelling, and instability of the shoulder joint. Immediate medical attention is typically required to relocate the shoulder joint and manage the associated pain. A Hill-Sachs lesion, on the other hand, is a specific type of injury that can occur alongside a shoulder dislocation. It involves a compression fracture of the humeral head (the rounded part of the upper arm bone), usually caused by the bone hitting the edge of the shoulder socket during a dislocation. This type of injury may result in a defect or depression on the humeral head, potentially affecting the stability and function of the shoulder joint. To determine the exact nature of your shoulder problem and the appropriate treatment, it's best to consult a healthcare professional. They can evaluate your symptoms, perform a physical examination, and order any necessary imaging tests, such as X-rays or MRI scans. Based on the diagnosis, your doctor may recommend treatments ranging from conservative approaches like immobilization and physical therapy to more invasive options like surgery.
