Reverse Hill-Sachs lesion with a greater and lesser tuberosity fracture of the humerus due to posterior shoulder dislocation: A case report

Abstract

Reverse Hill-Sachs lesions are occasional complication of posterior shoulder dislocation. However, Isolated fractures of the lesser tuberosity humerus are rare, occurring in only 0.46 persons per 100,000. A lesser tuberosity fracture with a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion on the humeral head is an extremely rare case presentation. We present a case of a greater tuberosity fracture of the humeral head by posterior dislocation in addition to a lesser tuberosity fracture with a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion with a greater and lesser tuberosity fracture of the humeral head due to posterior shoulder dislocation.
