Pdf Summary

This case involves a 22-year-old male recreational athlete presenting with his fourth anterior shoulder dislocation. Imaging reveals a 15% glenoid bone loss and an off-track Hill-Sachs lesion, indicating significant structural damage to the shoulder joint that contributes to instability and recurrent dislocations. The patient was assessed and treated under the care of Dr. Paul Caldwell of Tuckahoe Orthopaedics Association and Orthopaedic Research of Virginia, Richmond. The case was discussed during the 2020 AAOS Annual Meeting Speciality Day in Orlando, FL, highlighting the complexity and management considerations of recurrent anterior shoulder instability in young active patients. Disclosures related to this presentation are available through official AAOS channels and the meeting app, ensuring transparency. This review underscores the importance of addressing both glenoid bone loss and humeral head lesions in recurrent shoulder dislocations to improve outcomes in young athletic populations.
