Abstract

Case:A 49-year-old highly active man had a direct fall on the left shoulder, causing a chronic locked posterior shoulder dislocation. Radiographic analysis revealed a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion (RHSL) that affected 31% of the articular surface. He was successfully treated with a modified McLaughlin procedure that included a double-row suture anchor as a novel fixation approach to secure the lesser tuberosity transfer and the subscapularis tenodesis.Conclusion:The reported approach for reconstructing the RHSL provides adequate stability, pain reduction, and functional outcomes. It may be considered as an option for joint preservation in extensive humeral head defects.
