Background: Acute Hill-Sachs reduction represents a potential alternative method to remplissage for the treatment of an engaging Hill-Sachs lesion. This study biomechanically compared the stabilizing effects of an acute Hill-Sachs reduction technique and remplissage.
Methods: Six cadaveric shoulders were tested. For the acute Hill-Sachs lesion, a unique model was used to create a 30% defect, compressing the subchondral bone while preserving the articular surface. Five scenarios were tested: intact specimen, bipolar lesion, Bankart repair, remplissage with Bankart repair, and Hill-Sachs reduction technique with Bankart repair. The Hill-Sachs lesion was reduced through a lateral cortical window with a bone tamp, and the subchondral void was filled with bone cement.
Results: At 90° of abduction and external rotation (ER), total translation was 11.6 ± 0.9 mm for the bipolar lesion. This was significantly reduced after remplissage (5.9 ± 1.1 mm; P < .001) and after Hill-Sachs reduction (4.7 ± 0.4 mm; P < .001). Compared with an isolated Bankart repair, the average ER loss after remplissage was 4° ± 4° (P = .65), and the average ER loss after Hill-Sachs reduction was 1° ± 3° (P = .99). Similar joint stability was conferred after both procedures, with minimal change in range of motion.
Conclusions: Remplissage may still be the best way to address chronic Hill-Sachs lesions; however, the reduction technique is a more anatomic alternative and may be a potential option for treating an acutely engaging Hill-Sachs lesion.

Background: The shoulder is the joint most often affected by dislocations. It is known that bony defects of the glenoid and/or humerus can lead to recurrent dislocations even after arthroscopic shoulder stabilization. To prevent recurrent instability, it appears reasonable to reduce fresh and larger Hill-Sachs lesions (off-track lesions).

Article Synopsis
- Shoulder dislocations can be complicated by soft tissue or bone obstructions, which may lead to failed reduction attempts, as illustrated by a case of a 35-year-old man with a fracture-dislocation after a fall.
- Despite seemingly successful reduction on initial imaging, a CT scan revealed underlying issues like muscle entrapment and avulsion fractures, prompting surgical intervention.
- Post-surgery, the patient had a good recovery with significant function, emphasizing the need for thorough imaging and patient monitoring after shoulder dislocations.

Article Synopsis
- Posterior shoulder dislocations can cause a specific type of fracture called reverse Hill-Sachs lesion (RHSL), which may lead to further dislocations if not treated effectively.
- This study analyzed the results of a minimally invasive surgery (arthroscopically assisted disimpaction) performed on 8 patients who had acute posterior dislocations with engaging RHSL.
- Follow-up assessments showed high patient satisfaction and stability, with significant improvements in shoulder function and no recurrent dislocations reported.

Article Synopsis
- Posterior shoulder instability affects about 5% of shoulder instability cases, presenting a diagnostic and treatment challenge, particularly when bone loss occurs in up to 25% of patients.
- Young athletes, particularly football linemen and throwers, often experience symptoms ranging from pain to reduced performance, with diagnosis relying on medical history, physical exams, and imaging techniques.
- Management of posterior glenoid bone loss requires careful consideration, as significant loss may necessitate reconstruction procedures, and ongoing research is essential for improving surgical outcomes and treatment strategies.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on understanding the biological changes in the shoulder's synovial environment related to joint instability and how these may contribute to degeneration, specifically analyzing proteins found in synovial fluid after shoulder injuries.
- - The hypothesis suggests that factors like the direction of instability and bone loss severity affect the proteins present in the synovial fluid of shoulder instability patients.
- - In a laboratory study with 25 participants, 720 proteins were identified in the synovial fluid, with four proteins notably expressed in patients with anterior instability, and validation of findings was performed using Western blotting.
